One less holiday to worry about

Weipa residents have been blessed this year, given a extra day to graft for their bosses.
That is those of you not on AWA's.

Not sure if it was an oversite, or planned but we have no gazetted show holiday this year, as yet!
Long time residents will recall the Coen Race Day holiday of years past. When the Coen Race Day terminated it was replaced by the Cairns Show Day.

A quick search of the Wageline website showed no "Show Holidays" or "Special Holidays" for the town of Weipa.
No gazetted holiday means business as usual, and a cost saving for businesses not having to pay for nonproductive time.

Remember the Local Authority is Rio, coincidence or not, your views please.
