MOCKERY FOR POLITICAL CORRECTNESS SAKE

CATAFALQUE PARTY AT ANZAC COVE 2012

The TV coverage of the ANZAC LANDING COMMEMORATION at Anzac Cove Gallipoli to-day was excellent. Nothing could mar the inherent solemnity of the occasion. It is an annual event I would love to witness in person, but circumstances will almost certainly prevent it.

This year it was not however, without fault in its execution. Whatever one's views about women in the military, I believe it was an appalling absurdity of N.Z. Political Correctness to make a mockery of the Catafalque Party by composing their element almost without exception with women -  whom the Fallen never had as Comrades. It reached the height of absurdity when Commands were given in a falsetto squeak! Whoever made the decision - perhaps a member of the radical sisterhood, should hang her head in shame for using a sacred occasion for political purposes!

The arrangement of "Advance Australia Fair"was the most trivial and pathetic I have ever heard. And then there was Juliarr... if she wishes to cling on as P.M. until the Election, she could at least stay out of sight.

97 Years on, here, the Fallen are in Eternity where they are out of time. It is entirely appropriate to pray :
                                                Eternal Rest 
                                                Grant unto them O Lord
                                                And may the Perpetual Light shine upon                                                     them
                                                And may they rest in Peace.
                                                AMEN
