Good morning. Thousands of Australians are coming together for Anzac Day commemorations, which have returned to public spaces after two Covid-disrupted years. Parades and marches will take place across the country, with different Covid restrictions in each state. It will also be the first Anzac Day since forces withdrew from Afghanistan.
Scott Morrison is in Darwin today for Anzac Day commemorations as both parties tour to the Northern Territory. But as the Australian War Memorial continues pursue a new sponsorship deal from arms manufacturer Lockheed Martin, Paul Daley writes “on what should be a day of quiet reflection … it pays to think about whether the war memorial remains the appropriate place for national Anzac commemorations”.
