I was going to post a thread on Anzac Day to commemorate those who served but I've been forced to do so earlier by the idiotic behaviour of some young Green Party Members who planned a rave party on the night to fund raise for thee Green Party.

Perhaps it is their generation or the left leaning proportion of it who do not understand what a solemn day of remembrance it is for the fallen and injured in all wars and peacekeeping missions in which Australians served as members of the ADF. Let's hope the Greens have learnt from their mistake. It has finally been cancelled.

I don't think the Greens want a Defence Force or Police. I think they genuinely believe that the world would be safer if there wasn't any weapons at all. Completely removed from reality.

I'll be marching in Melbourne. Then, pub crawl to the G for Dons v Pies.

@Sean K Unbelievable that the Loon Party were to hold a fund raiser on ANZAC Day.
It took more than a couple of minutes for the penny to drop that a lot of people were pizzed off by them.
We had our Premier, The Hon Roger Cook, the Prime Minister Elbow and the Opposition Leader Dudson all baying for blood for what they were proposing on this Sacred Day.
Now it has been re-scheduled for the Easter Monday.

The Greens Party is an extreme left socialist party, closure to a communist party. They want to delete white English history and start a hybrid society that uses communist ideals with Aboriginal heritage.

Everyone that enjoys our way of life should not give the Greens a single vote.

No not really but I do think they have lost their conservation of our natural environment credentials more of a social issues party these days.

My sister and her family are members of the Greens Party; the majority of their friends are also members. They were once Labor Party members but dropped them in favour of the Greens just after the last election, saying that they were disappointed in the Labor Party because "they are just another business party like the Liberals".

I love my sister and my niece, and I enjoy the company of their friends, but their politics is extreme, and they tell it word for word from each meeting and from the regular news release that members receive.

the Greens are extreme in their politics and policies, but they are good people most of the time.

Have you been the cemeteries they're buried in? I've visited a few great uncles on Western Front tours. Worth the effort.

yes.

only learned of great Uncle Archibald last week.

Great Uncle Leonard is buried on Limnos.

Uncle Alan shot down 70km north of Paris, the locals saw the plane crash. Received the DFC. The chateau owner buried the 2 bodies and made contact with our family in 1946. Mum sent food parcels after the war (I have the letters). The 2 graves are in a village cemetery, with Commonwealth War Graves upgrading the tombstones.

Hence my terminology "The Loon Brigade"
 
I had 3 great uncles in WW2. All joined the Australian navy.

One got shellshock. Was on a ship that was sunk and lost a lot of crew. Never was the same. Lived a lot of his time in the Bundoora Repatriation Mental Hospital. Uncle Aub.

@Knobby22 Sadly only one of so many.
Back when I was Daily News paperboy standing on the corner of Walcott and Beaufort Streets there was an unfortunate bloke by the name of Ben.
He was a shell-shocked tortured soul, who meant no harm to anyone, but would fly off into a rage for no apparent reason.
Lived in an old boarding house not far from where I was.
His name and face always come to me around ANZAC time of the year.
I never know what happened to him but I guess his demise would have been in Heathcote back then.

Sadly they are also mostly facts and real science proof while sure they are more aware than the rest, urbanised so much that they are completely removed from the natural world they once use to support, the sad result product of our western mis-education....
Fanatical flat earthers lacking a religion and joining a cult.
Some are nice lost people, others little shits...as in any society🥴

Then rum and two up.

@rcw1 unfortunately in our society these days there are those that have norespect for the boys, men and women who served in several conflicts for us and this magnificent country and paid the ultimate price.
I came across one such a**ehole yesterday, and very nearly re-arranged his teeth.
The only thing that stopped me was the wounds from the heart and pacemaker surgery.
