Default Keeping shops closed over Easter
Labour Department set to keep shops closed over Easter

The Labour Department says it will be enforcing Easter trading laws this year to the best of its capabilities.

Last year more than 70 retailers were prosecuted for opening on Good Friday or Easter Sunday, facing fines of up to $1000.

The law currently allows only certain shops, which provide essential supplies, to open on those days.

These include shops providing food ready to eat, souvenir and duty free shops, pharmacies, and shops in premises where there are bona fide shows or exhibitions.

Department deputy secretary for workplace Andrew Annakin said inspectors would be visiting retailers on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
