Anzac Day
Natalie SULEYMAN (St Albans – Minister for Veterans, Minister for Small Business, Minister for Youth) (09:46): On Anzac Day this year Victorians rose before the sun and united at dawn services across the state and the country. Together every year on 25 April we gather to remember the sacrifice, the courage and the bravery shown on the battlefields of Gallipoli in 1914. We remember the Johnnys and the Mehmets who sacrificed their lives in defence of their nations. This year I attended the dawn service at Mount Macedon memorial cross with my good friend the member for Macedon It was a moving and emotional ceremony as we watched the sun rise through the snow gums and the time-honoured tradition of the last post sounded across the morning. When we gather together on Anzac Day we honour all service men and women in uniform who have served and continue to serve right across our world. Lest we forget.
