Anzac Day

Mr T BULL: Despite yesterday’s bizarre and disrespectful outburst in the Legislative Council by the Minister for Veterans, RSL sub-branches remain in the dark on what requirements local Anzac Day services will have to meet. Many country communities often have well over 1000 people attend their various ceremonies, whether that be the marches, whether that be the breakfasts or whether that be the services themselves, and they must be given a very clear way forward. Direction is needed on crowd limits, the management of these ceremonies, the requirements for masks and social distancing, and other matters. With less than five weeks until Anzac Day, the minister is asleep at the wheel. The time has passed to keep saying you are in discussions. It is time to get it sorted.
