From The Campaign Trail

On Anzac Day I have three dominant emotions. First, a deep respect and gratitude for all those Australian women and men who have served in the terrible wars and conflicts of the past and present, particularly those who have been injured or killed. Second, a sadness for the way in which some of these service people were treated after they returned home. That must never be allowed to happen again. And third, contempt for those politicians who feign concern for their military personnel but who have lied and deceived, and used conflict, war and terror, for their own ends.
