This page was created because I felt the Holidays and New Zealand articles would become too elaborate with duplicated information that is very specific to New Zealand if this page did not exist. I intend to reduce the information on holidays in the New Zealand article to just an overview. - kiwiinapanic 10:08, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Commercial free TV

Is the reason TV is commercial free on Christmas, Easter Sunday and Good Friday (and ANZAZ morning I guess although I wasn't even aware TV was commercial free then :-P ) due to the same trading restrictions that prevent stores opening on these days? If so, someone should add it to the article. I could add it but given that I don't know (although it seems very likely) someone needs to confirm it first and I might not check back here for a while so it'll be easier if someone who knows can add it if it's true.
