‘Tasmania’s Governor should not be invited to next year’s Anzac Day ceremony. Indeed, Peter Underwood should be quietly removed from his position, having so abused his office today:
…“Much has been said, and will be said, about the Anzac spirit, but I venture to repeat the caution that I have sounded before on this day against glorifying war with descriptions of the mythical tall, lean, bronzed and laconic ANZAC, enthusiastically and unflinchingly carrying the torch of freedom in the face of murderous enemy fire,” the Governor said.
“Australia needs to drop the sentimental myths that Anzac Day has attracted,” he added.
The Governor called for this centennial year of the start of WWI to be declared the year of peace.
“In this year of peace, Australia should establish a centre for the study of peace, conflict and war,” he said.
…First, he’s the Queens representative. No one elected him and his role is to unify. To instead preach politics on Anzac Day is arrogant and grossly impertinent.
….Underwood continues:
“…how about diverting some of the millions of dollars that will be spent on the Anzac Festival to provide proper support for the University of Sydney’s Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies…”
What a disgraceful suggestion.
The reason?
Here are just some. This misleadingly named Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies promotes an essentially racist boycott of Israeli Jews to punish Israel from defending itself against movements that wish it destroyed. It has held talks with the leader of Hamas, which maintains a terrorist wing. It is so far to the Left that until recently its staff included the then head of Australia’s Communist Party and now a member of its central committee….’ source. And do read the whole thing.
“Quietly” removed from his position? Quietly be damned. This leftist creep has abused and demeaned the position he holds and insulted a very large number of Australians. He should be sacked, put in stocks in the public square and pelted with rotten fruit and offal. What a despicable prick.
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

I can think of a few other things that can be done quietly to him, won’t be too quiet or peaceful on his part though.
Bolt now has some screen grabs of the whole speech, since the original has been disappeared. (what a surprise, eh?)
The creep mentions the 16 million killed in WW1 and around 50 million killed in WW2, but no mention of the 150 million of their own citizens killed by leftist governments last century.
How about we fund a centre to study the causes of murderous impulses on the part of the left?
“How about we fund a centre to study the causes of murderous impulses on the part of the left?”
Where would we get that much money?Gonna be one big arsed building with lots of books to document it all that’s for sure
I can think of only one – hang the bastard.
You’re too kind, Seneca.
What a *bastard*.
“…no mention of the 150 million of their own citizens killed by leftist governments last century.”
Or of the estimated 270 million massacred by *Muslims* in the last 1400 years (a group that this fool no doubt supports).
Just two of the inconvenient truths the left prefers to hide.
The stocks would be a fitting punishment.
‘…Those who gathered to watch the punishment typically wanted to make the offender’s experience as unpleasant as possible. In addition to being jeered and mocked, those in the pillory might be pelted with rotten food, mud, offal, dead animals, and animal excrement. As a result, criminals were often very dirty by the end of their punishment, their faces and hair begrimed with the smelly refuse with which they had been pelted.[citation needed]. Sometimes people were killed or maimed in the pillory because crowds could get too violent and pelt the offender with stones, bricks and other dangerous objects.[4] However, when Daniel Defoe was sentenced to the pillory in 1703 for Seditious libel, he was regarded as a hero by the crowd and was pelted with flowers.[5]…’
You’ll appreciate this, Oswald:

What a shower of shite!
I was in the bay next to a Real one being dropped. Spent a dull hour lying in the mud before the dems sgt piled a kilo of PE on top and blew the blind. That was fun!
Should have said that they also neglected to remove the transit clip…
The most telling memorial I have visited in OZ is the one above Albany WA the port of embarkation for the ANZACs as they were funneled into the Euro-War. It is a magnificent monument high above the port, solid, eternal and speaking of both countries to both countries.
I’ve seen it, Cad. Absolutely beautiful, perfectly apt.
Also and equally o/t: Have you seen the memorial statue of the mother looking out to sea at Geraldton? This is I recall a monument to the “Australia” sunk by krauts off the coast there. It is a piercing depiction of loss. It stands well beside “The Scream” in its palpable agony.
No! I’m sorry I missed it. I guess photographs wouldn’t do it justice. Do you know who the artist was?
