ABC Online has the strange news that our local gubbmint, perhaps sick of having to be invited to federal memorial services, has decided to plonk down its own memorial in Veterans Park in Civic. Despite Canberra already being home to one of the finest War Memorials in all the world.
Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but having been through the plaques there a few years ago, I was under the impression the park was meant to be commemorating police veterans?
Why do we have to strip them of their place (or at least devalue their prominence in it) for a War Memorial which is only of any use to our vainglorious local politicians?
