onsidereing all the fuss about Anzac day for 2015 there has been little to comemmorate D day here in Oz, wonder what they will do for September 3rd, 75th aniversary of WW2 start?

At least our PM was there, John and the dreaded ABC gave some coverage . I have to admit to some discomfort in the recent trend of the ANZAC commemoration that seems to be taken over by self interest with a heck of a lot of passengers on board overt shadowing the real purpose.

Hi Richard, Both the Australian and NZ Prime Ministers were there today also 7 Australian veterans.
