Everyone who read Peter Tremain's ANZAC poem may be happy to know that
the poem was read at the service on ANZAC Day at the National
Aboriginal Memorial at the War Memorial in Canberra. It was read by
Cec Grant, Wiradjuri Elder as part of his speech.
Good news!

Is there someone on Recoznet2 who has some experience in journalism and
can spare some time daily to help out?
A fairly radical attitude combined with good diplomacy would be ideal.
Not picky am I? :-)
If this fits anyone can they please contact me privately?

You don't have to go that far. Howard wouldn't dedicate a Japanese peace
park in Canberra a few years ago because the Japanese hadn't apologised

The Federal Government has appealed to the

Reconciliation without apology cannot possibly be reconciliation in any
meaningful sense of the word. If the Reconciliation Council does leave an
apology out of the document because it has bowed to Prime Ministerial

he would never have been able to say "that great-hearted generation of

I wonder if Howard or any of his cronies in their
usual shortsightedness and lack of historical
perspective have ever said that it was right for the
Germans to apologise for the holocaust and World War
Two and that it's right for Germans to compensate. If
they have, that's a handle to grab them by
