Dates taken from the Act

Rows marked as from the Act follow the public holidays legislation of Tasmania, either because the printed list shows a different date or because the law changed after the list was published. Tasmania made Easter Sunday a statutory holiday from the year after the amendment, so it appears here although the printed list predates the change.
