I hope you all survived Abbott's immortal words at Gallipoli yesterday. Our great helmsman made himself an ANZAC By Association when he uttered
http://www.businessinsider.com.au/heres-the-touching-speech-prime-minister-tony-abbott-gave-at-the-dawn-service-in-gallipoli-2015-4 : "...they became the founding heroes of modern Australia. "... they faced the hardest possible test and they did not flinch." "...Today, all of us who have not been tested in war salute all of those who have. Most of us have never worn our country’s uniform." "...But we are the better for those who have." "...The official historian, Charles Bean, said of the original Anzacs: “their story rises as it will always rise, above the mists of ages, a monument to great hearted men; and, for their nation a possession forever”." Yes, they are us; and when we strive enough for the right things, we can be more like them. So much has changed in one hundred years but not the things that really matter. Duty, selflessness, moral courage: always these remain the mark of a decent human being. They did their duty; now, let us do ours. They gave us an example; now, let us be worthy of it. They were as good as they could be in their time; now, let us be as good as we can be in ours." As Abbott is winging his way to Australia in his private jet think not to criticise this newly minted ANZAC by ASSociation. Posted by plantagenet, Sunday, 26 April 2015 2:01:38 PM

Of course we do not read about it but the Imperial relatives of the present Imperialists Charlie and Harry were part of the couse of so many lives lost in Gallipoli, what hypocrites they are, another pair crying crocodile tears, when will we wake up.

When will we wake up?
Probably when some people stop taking cheap shots at those alive today who had nothing to do with events 100 years ago; we can't pick our ancestors. Posted by Is Mise, Monday, 27 April 2015 9:28:59 AM

In that case Is Mise let's forget about the whole of Anzac a day, it was 100 years ago, let's forget my uncle who got killed there, I should not remember him at all, why have his name in the paper, as mentioned it was 100 years ago, he was part of history the same as the relatives of the war mongering Royals at that time, if you want to kill yourself for a Royal, ("King") go for it, it will not concern me at all, after all they eat, crap, have babies the same as any one else, it is purely man made snobbery which you obviously adore.
