Why is it a "farce" to remember people who have fought & died for their country?

I think you've got the wrong end of the stick. The federal government & the Returned Services League are trying to STOP people making commercial gain by abusing the Anzac Day celebrations. Before anyone can sell a product using the word 'Anzac', they must have a permit from Veterans' Affair. Under the Crimes Act 1914, an individual can be fined up to $10,200 & an official body can be fined $51,000 for serious breaches in relation to the word 'Anzac'. This law is to prevent scammers jumping on the bandwagon & making an easy buck in the name of those who perished in war, conflict & peacekeeping operations & also in honour of the contribution & suffering of all who have served. I think the law is precisely right on this.

@BalmyNites it's all about commercial gain now. The Woolworths"fresh in our memories" ad along with others. It's just an overhyped nonsense. I just won't partake. Others can but I'm done. Cheers.

Having close military connections with family members having gone to war many times, I am totally against individuals/bodies gaining profit from loss & suffering associated with war & conflict & commercial gain should be cracked down on, yes.

I owe my life to the Australian navy. I still fly to Perth every year for Anzac Day to honor one particular serviceman who died protecting me, personally, in Sana'a.
