💡 Insights

A cultural practice exists for a shorter workday (often reduced by one hour) on the day before a national holiday. Many regional 'show days' are public holidays in specific areas, and 'bridge days' or long weekends are created when a holiday falls on a weekend. Major sporting events like the AFL Grand Final often coincide with public holidays.
