IO have no problem with those who have served their country well in field of conflict and even giving their life in defense of same.

But for some such as our ex premier to get the highest order for locking up the state of Victoria during the pandemic, not on medical grounds as now been established, but on his wishes only.
To me that is a total disgrace which demines the efforts of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us.

The recent celebrations for VE day and end of WW2 were meant to give thanks and gratitude to the whole wartime generation for sacrifices made including the huge role played by the MN.
The events among others are hijacked by church and state making them meaningless.
