Beach, I just assumed you meant 1915. I always think you are 99 years behind the times. I can just imagine Biggles Abbott leading the charge, tin hat on head, for what ever for I can't imagine, would be better off with it tied around his backside, in that way he would be at least be protecting his brain. LOL. Over to you Good Buddy.

From what I saw on a range of television Anzac related interviews, there were veterans who had clearly come from other countries and fought for what the government of the day was the right thing to do.

I saw one elderly man - who spoke French. His daughter had to interpret for him. People like this had come from other countries and fought for Australia.

I don't like war in principle - and I hope in the future we can do better - but I really don't feel we should 'disrespect' people who have put themselves on the line, with a silly "left wing agenda" conspiracy theory as part of Anzac Day on these pages.

Our veterans deserve better.

Foxy, according to good ol' Aussie boy hero Banjo, you and I 'lie' and 'denigrate Australia! Lol!

If that is how someone like Banjo sees us, then I am really comfortable with my position on this subject.
We must be doing something right Foxy.

The main threat to our great country are those who seek to divide and increase aggression among it's people, and delude themselves in thinking they are
The Great White Hope.

You must feel humble in your own presence Banjo?

Saltpetre "Why do some people go out of their way to pick on Foxy"

Maybe because all we get from Foxy is fluff-and-bluff, duck-and-cover, copy-and-paste.

Day in, day out.

Paul1405 "What the Commission is saying about others, migrants and former enemies, is in a nut shell, 'don't try and rub their noses in it.'"

And we needed a $370,000 report to tell us not to do what we don't do anyway?

So you already knew the report existed and could have told us the name/location ages ago?

How helpful to the discussion!

Dear Suse,

Keep on doing what you're doing.
You can feel good that
you've spoken your mind without malice
or anger. Continue to throw down the
gauntlet. I'll do the same as I'm sure
so will RObert, Poirot, Paul, SteeleRedux,
Saltpetre, and many others on this forum.

Shocker,

If I can Google; anzac day commision century report, anyone can.

There is nothing in the report that is a big deal, 99% is about logistics of what's going to happen. Its in no way a controversial report. Just check out the who's who's on the commission they are people who are generally not open to controversy, the chair Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, AC, AFC (Ret’d), not exactly Mr Radical, they done what was asked of them.
