Why not make it ACC day,?.

New Zealanders have marked the landings at Gallipoli since news of the event first reached this country, and Anzac Day has been a public holiday since 1921. On this day the people of New Zealand have acknowledged the sacrifice of all those who have died in warfare, and the contribution and suffering of all those who have served.

Over time there have been changes in the way that the day has been commemorated, reflecting the changing features and concerns of our society. During the Second World War, for example, there was increased interest and a heightened sense of the relevance of Anzac Day; in the 1960s and decades following it was from time to time used as a platform for anti-war and other social protest.

Today, at a time when it seems New Zealanders are increasingly keen to assert and celebrate a unique identity, we recognise Anzac Day as a central marker of our nationhood.

The number of New Zealanders attending Anzac Day events in New Zealand, and at Gallipoli, is increasing. For some younger people, the sombre focus of the day receives less emphasis than do the more celebratory aspects of a national holiday. For most, though, the day is an occasion on which to formally pay tribute and to remember.

Anzac Day now promotes a sense of unity, perhaps more effectively than any other day on the national calendar. People whose politics, beliefs and aspirations are widely different can nevertheless share a genuine sorrow at the loss of so many lives in war, and a real respect for those who have endured warfare on behalf of the country we live in.

why did the VFL play the NZ national anthem at the MCG yesterday ?

there wasn't a kiwi in sight
not one

& yet this pathetic slime bag organisation
the Kings of tokenism & half hearted gestures the VFL
saw fit to recognise the NZ... in ANZAC

there was only one real ANZAC clash in Melbourne yesterday
& it was at AAMI park
where the 2 nations players .. citizens & expats mingled.. commemorated & celebrated the ANZAC tradition together with a great game of football

there was a farce played earlier somewhere down there
the less said about that disgusting disrespectful event the better
