Anzac Day

 Joe McCRACKEN (Western Victoria) (09:59): Over the break I was also honoured to go to a number of Anzac Day ceremonies. There are a lot of people across the Ballarat region that went to Anzac Day ceremonies, both at schools and actually on the day itself. I want to pay tribute to those that have served our armed forces in Australia and thank them for their service and the sacrifice that they have endured, both for them and their family, many over a significant period of time. Lest we forget. We pay absolute honour and privilege to our fallen veterans who have gone before us so that we can live the way that we can today.
