The Government should be asking itself, though, is it fair to put another $450m of costs on to business in the middle of a cost of living crisis? It was revealed on Monday that New Zealanders will be given a day off on September 26, to coincide with a memorial service at the Wellington Cathedral of St Paul, a cathedral for which the late Queen laid the foundation stone for in 1954.
