Discussion Question 1
The morning of Anzac Day will remain protected for commemoration. The review is not proposing to change the 12:30 pm time for restricting activities.
Are there any further restrictions in addition to trading and events that would enhance observance of Anzac Day?
Discussion Question 2
Is there anything else about Anzac Day observance in Tasmania that the review should consider?
Discussion Question 3
How well do the current exemptions for trading on Anzac Day operate in practice?
What criteria could be applied to determine which shops, if any, may trade before that time?
If you have applied for an exemption, what worked well and what could be improved?
Discussion Question 4
Are the existing employee protections adequate to support participation in Anzac Day observance?
If not, what additional protections should be considered?
Discussion Question 5
Should small-scale or community sporting activities be treated differently from larger or commercial sporting events before 12:30 pm?
If so, what limits should apply, for example around size, location, noise or timing?
Discussion Question 6
Are there sporting, racing or public events that could appropriately occur before 12:30 pm because they support, or are consistent with, Anzac Day commemoration?
What characteristics would distinguish those events from activities that should remain restricted?
Discussion Question 7
If a process was introduced to allow exemptions for events before 12:30 pm, what criteria and safeguards should apply?
For example, should consideration be given to an event’s size, location, timing, noise, impact on commemorative services and contribution to Anzac Day observance?
Discussion Question 8
Is there a case for establishing a new Anzac Day fund or contribution model in Tasmania?
Discussion Question 9
If Tasmania considered a new Anzac Day or veterans’ support fund, what features would be important?
Input is specifically being sought on the purpose of the support fund, the definition of eligible veteran services, how funds are distributed, possible governance and transparency measures, including outcome measures.
