I agree with Paul1405.
There are very few people who think we should do away with Anzac Day, and those that spread those sort of rumours are lower than an ants knee.

The 'bigger threat' to Australia are those that strive to destabilize our unique friendships between multicultural people, in a country so successful at true multiculturalism that people from all over the world would love to live here!

The Anzacs from the two world wars met and fought beside many people from different countries when they fought overseas, and when they returned from war, they and their families welcomed immigrants who came here from war torn countries.
Why can't we all be more like them?

I can just recall my Grand Uncle Jim who joined the 1st AIF and fought at Gallipoli in 1915, and later on the Western Front. When I was about 8 years old, around 1960, I recall sitting at the kitchen table, and being left alone with Uncle, all having left the room except us two, stting opposite each other. A very awkward moment for an 8 year old boy, uncle didn't take kindly to children at all, had none of his own, due to a very private war injury suffered at Gallipoli, patched up in Egypt, and sent on to the Western Front, must have been a fun war for uncle. I plucked up enough courage to speak up, we never spoke, he tended to simply bark at us children rather than speak. My question to uncle was; "Uncle, what did you do in the war?" Uncle paused for what seem ages and then lent across the table, me thinking he was about to bite my head off for such impertinence, instead uncle looked left, then right, making sure no one was in ear shot, and with a cold glassy stare said "Son...I kept my f'n head down!" that put the frightners on one 8 year old boy. Years later, long after uncle has passed on, I would think, "Uncle you should have kept more than your f'n head down." I wished i could have been able to talk with uncle and find out more about the Great War and his part in it, I know uncle always spoke well of the Turk, he would say "he was only defending his homeland" but British Officers were another matter all together. I'm sure if a Turk and a British Officer were together, and uncle had to shoot one, I think the Turk would have found himself, safe and well and living in Istanbul. LOL

@Susie,

<< in a country so successful at true multiculturalism that people from all over the world would love to live here!>>

Ah lassie, spoken like a true Lefty.

So all them illegals and illeguys be boatin here 'cause they be likin our mult-ticult--er-ism?

Sounds to me like you been indulgin the barley wata a wee too much.

Paul1405 and Suseonline, this is not a "lie" or a "rumour" spread by One Nation types.

The government *did* commission this report and it contained the usual namby-pamby kiss-the-immigrants-arse back-stabbing leftist agenda.

There may very well be nobody offended by or opposing Anzac Day for "cultural" reasons.

But the bureaucrats will still make their traitorous walk-on-egg-shells recommendations regardless.

Okay Shock, you say; "I wish someone would report the *name* of the document, so we could read it." We being you. So you haven't actually read the unnamed report but you tell us it contains "the usual namby-pamby kiss-the-immigrants-arse back-stabbing leftist agenda."
Having not actually read the unnamed report how do you know it contains that "namby-pamby kiss-the-immigrants-arse back-stabbing leftist agenda."
What a shocker!

Shockadelic, do you have any specifics? I've been unable to find any proof of recommendations to tone down Anzac day. Lots of generalities but no references to either an accessible version of the report or specific content from it to support the claims which are being made.

My impression is that it included some general comments acknowledging risks, either to be thorough or to arse cover. The comments I've seen regarding that have suggested that it was very tame and bears almost no relation to the content of the email (or previous versions of the email).

I'm more than willing to change my view on this if someone can come up with specifics that back the story but at this stage it looks like a beat up designed to mislead and inflame tension without real cause.

If that is the case then I think it's counter productive to those trying to raise concerns about instances where specifics of multiculturalism are not be working. Like the story of the boy who cried wolf, it undermines the credibility of more factual claims.
