The West Australian Greens have dumped plans to host the event on Anzac Day off the back of widespread criticism from veterans and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton.

I don’t see the issue with a party after midday. Yes, ANZAC day is a special day for remembering troops - in the morning. The afternoon is for celebration.

Two-up games, beers at the RSL, annual AFL Match with Essendon and Collingwood. Go ahead and have a dance party as well. What’s the issue?

Yes, I’d have serious problems with it if they were holding it in the morning. But the party was scheduled for 6pm. Go nuts boys and girls, have your party.

Honestly, did anyone outside politicians actually have an issue with this?

    Personally knew several literal ANZACs, descended from 700 years of naval officers, personally worked with RAAF and NALO developing logistical software here: ANZAC day has been co-opted into a jIngoistic military propaganda party.
