Qld moves October long weekend to May

Queenslanders have swapped their mid-spring long weekend for one in autumn.

The Labor government has restored the Labour Day long weekend to the first weekend of May, after the previous government moved it to October, passing it through state parliament on Tuesday afternoon.

The Queen's Birthday long weekend has also been moved from the first week of June to the first week of October.

Under the changes there will no longer be mid-year long weekend in the state.
