Take the word of the last surviving soldier of WWI.
Anzac Day isn’t a day to celebrate. Its commemoration is a complete facade, to disguise the glorification of militarism and war in somber prayers and a last post.
ANZAC DAY SUCKS AND IS NOT A DAY TO CELEBRATE!
Anzac Day is about imperial boasting and military boosting! Aiming to normalise war and militarism, wrapping it all in a somber tone to inspire and convince working class people to go die for the rich. Abolish Anzac Day.
No to war and military spending.

How outrageous!! Money for health and education, not war and devastation!!
Australia will spend $1.7 billion on a fleet of extra-large underwater “Ghost Shark” attack drones.
Richard Marles said these drones will provide “a more capable and more lethal navy”
“We have consistently articulated that Australia faces the most complex, in some ways, the most threatening, strategic landscape that we have had since the end of the second world war,” Marles said.
It’s a mask-off moment, the military build up of AUKUS is about preparing for an eventual war with China. This must be opposed by all anti-war veterans!
Australia to spend $1.1bn on underwater ‘Ghost Shark’ attack drones Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles says large underwater attack drones have ‘very long range’ of operations.
