Despite pressure from the Victorian Premier, Henry Bolte, the VFL refused to play the four postponed matches on Anzac Day (which, by custom, would have contributed to patriotic funds), and scheduled the postponed matches for the following Saturday (30 April).
Henry Bolte GCMG (1908–1990), Australian politician, Premier of Victoria
He was educated at Skipton primary school and Ballarat Grammar School: he was the last Victorian Premier not to attend a university.
This included advising the then Victorian Premier Sir Henry Bolte and Chief Secretary Sir Arthur Rylah that they might be guilty of intentional unlawful homicide, or murder, if the Government hanged a convicted murderer named Robert Peter Tait notwithstanding a temporary stay on his execution granted by the High Court of Australia (see Tait v R (1962) 108 CLR 620).
Premier Bolte then directed the Public Solicitor to withdraw Opas' brief as the government was not going to fund the petition to the Privy Council.

Starke reported that the Premier of Victoria, Sir Henry Bolte, insisted that the death sentence be carried out.
