Should State of Origin day – already a sacred day for Queenslanders – be a public holiday in Queensland?

Melbourne gets two extra public holidays: one for the AFL grand final and another for Melbourne Cup Day next Tuesday.

The Queensland Greens have proposed that the day of game three of the State of Origin should be a public holiday to make Queenslanders healthier.
