That’s multiculturalism for you, Toni Lavis. It’s starts with coconut in Anzac biscuits. The next thing you know, we’ll all be wearing banana leaves, desecrating our flesh with ungodly markings, and climbing trees - like Folau and his primitive kind - because we can’t get enough coconut for our Anzac biscuits.

They want to destroy the Australian way of life, and what better way to do that than to strike at the heart of one of our greatest traditions!

Now fellas, you are just not being inclusive enough here. I think to be truly inclusive you should add 2 tablespoons of coco to the recipe to demonstrate to our not so white brothers, homophobic rugby players included, that we recognize their contribution at Gallipoli, even if they were not there, but would have been there if we had allowed them to be there. Also a splash of Raki in the mix would be appropriate in this day and age, to demonstrate to our Turkish brethren that we hold no animosity, despite the fact they tried to blow our grandfathers to smithereens! The world is one big happy family now.

Paul,

Are you not aware that there were Pacific Islanders at Gallipoli and other battles in WWI?

Hi Issy, I have seen the Maori war memorial and museum in New Zealand. Over 2,000 served in the Maori Contingents in WWI. There was a fear among some Europeans that "native people" fighting on the British and French sides might come to expect equal treatment with white soldiers.Their involvement in WWII was even more significant than it had been in WWI.
