Anzac Day dawn service march too dangerous for female CO
The naval officer who banned an Anzac Day dawn service march on safety grounds was celebrated for her gender diversity upon appointment as CO of HMAS Albatross…
David Morrison’s echoes…
Why would be surprised that an academic attacks Anzac Day when a Chief of Army and Australian of the Year has done exactly the same thing?

Forgetting what Anzac Day is for
When we need to spend up big to keep us safe on Anzac Day it only means one thing.
