Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has paid tribute to Australia's military personnel and emergency workers in his Easter message.
He has also made special mention of people working during the Easter long weekend.
"I wish all Australians a happy and safe Easter with the people you love," Mr Shorten said in a statement on Saturday morning.
"Whatever faith we belong to, this is a time we can give thanks for the blessings of family and friends."
He said his thoughts were with "the men and women of the Australian Defence Force keeping us safe, our emergency workers ready to help and everyday people putting in the extra hours to make ends meet".
"At a time when many of us are enjoying a relaxing break, we think especially of all the Australians who will be working through the long weekend."
