and this, good on her,

On reflection, I think that Yassmin should be praised for drawing attention to some little-known aspects of our military history, as a brilliant letter in today's paper explains.

MANUS: the Australians liberated Manus Island from the Japs in early 1944, liberating many people used as slave labour.

NAURU: when the Japanese surrendered in September 1945, Austtralian forces were ableto liberate around 700 Nauruans who had been used as slve labour by the Japs.

SYRIA: (1) In WWII, Australian light-horsemen helped to liberate Damascus - bugger it, no, they liberated it on their own - from the Ottoman yoke, and allowed the Arab people a breathing space after five hundred years of semi-serfdom.

(2) In WWII, Australian troops helped to liberate Syria from the Vichy French and prevent it being used as a bridgehead for Nazi Germany to invade Egypt, which would have isolated Australia from its main fighting forces in Libya and Egypt (remember the 'Rats of Tobruk ?' Ask your grandfather).

PALESTINE: Australian troops also liberated Palestine from the Ottoman yoke.

So yes, Yassmin is right: we should remember those Australians who lay down their lives to liberate Manus Island, Nauru, Syria and Palestine from imperialist and fascist aggression.

Paul1405 - Your argument for this woman does not pass the credibility test.

If she cares for all you say being supposedly highly educated she would show indignation with other situations involving innocent victims.

So can you show us her comments about the mongrel who drove the car into a crowd in Melbourne, the police employee being stabbed in Sydney and a plethora of other such actions in Australia and around the world.

Paul,

The Korean War was the result of naked aggression on the part of North Korea, there was no diplomacy to fail.

Just as North Korea is declaring it will do again.

Google Earth shows graphically the present real state of that nation.

At present Nth Korea is in no position to attack anyone.
They are very short of fuel. They have enough jet fuel for a one day war.

It has to be all bluff at present.
It appears that China is starving them of oil and refinery products.
The question that worries everyone is do they have a rocket mounted bomb ?

A lot of you people need to comprehend the 'I did your mum' clause.
The 'I did your mum' clause states that 'You CAN exercise your right to free speech' but be aware that the other person can also 'exercise their right to break your jaw'.

Those who say that Yassmin was simply execising her right to free speech are scum.
You do not have the right to hijack 'Lest We Forgot' for your own political activism purposes on ANZAC day.

If you do that, you deserve everything coming to you.

I'm glad Australia has stood up and put her in her place.
She's had it coming for a while and its excellent to see she did it to herself.
I don't like taking pleasure in other peoples failures but I think this is gold. I just can't wait to see what else she'll do now to implode.

When it comes to ANZAC Day, people not born here and who cannot show respect should just keep their bloody mouths shut.
