Anzac wreath vandalism outrages rsl clubs”
“Our most revered and beloved of Aussies, David, is the greatest hero of our nation. The destruction of our national flag and our great nation is unacceptable,” club president Andrew Bower told AAP.
A message from the National Party in N바카라ovember declared the flag “outrageous, disgraceful, abhorrent to this great nation and that of the world”.
A protest, in which more than 200 members turned up to demonstrate, saw dozens damaged, most damaged by fire engines. The flag was taken and destroyed in a local park.
One man, 21, who suffered burns to more than 90 per cent of his body, said the flag was his most cherished and respected American.
“We were all proud of the flag but if the NPA wanted it damaged more then we would take matters into our own hands,” he told news.com.au.
“What we wanted was an apology. It would only have upset the club because the Australian flag is iconic of our country,” he said.
“We’ve always had a very close relationship with the Aussie flag. You never understand the political motivations of Australians to take down our heritage or our national flag. We really support everything the Aussie flag stands for and we are very proud of it.”
A club statement issued after the flag had been vandalised on Tuesday was a statement of “horrific dis바카라respect”.
“We do not want this type of vandalism or even defacing the flag; the flag symbolizes the people, history and tradition of Australia and is one of the most widely respected symbols of our nation.
“We stand united in supporting the rights of the Australian people to raise the Australian flag at any time and place in the political, cultural, religious or professional arenas.”
Anzac Day celebrations, including the flag-raigospelhitzsing ceremony at the foot of Mt Albert, include a night of fireworks, an Aussie dance and a band concert featuring local artists.
