Easter 2023

Media statement
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese
Prime Minister

With the announcement of the 2025 federal election, the caretaker period is now in effect.

In accordance with the caretaker conventions, new material, including transcripts and media releases, may not be available on this site. This information is usually available on the Australian Labor Party website, which is not maintained or funded by the Commonwealth of Australia.

Happy Easter, Australia.

For many, Easter Sunday is a holy day marking the resurrection – a celebration of faith, hope and renewal.

The variety of services, vigils and ceremonies across the Easter period speaks for our nation's diversity.

Of course, it's only possible for us to enjoy the long weekend because of the efforts of those Australians who are working through these public holidays.

Thank you for your contribution to our nation.

Finally, can I ask you all to please take care on the roads at this busy time for travel.

Have a safe, happy and holy Easter.
