What the Catafalque Party has become.

[Die Judicii]

My personal feelings,,,,,,

I believe strongly that due to current laws, legalities, and the do-gooders having their way,, in removing the genuine arms
from the Catafalque Parties on Anzac Day, they have in a way now become a travesty.
To me, it takes away from the respect due by the ceremony, to be armed with "toy" guns.
It is an insult to all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

Surely for a once per year ceremony we can show genuine honor for our fallen, by having the real deal for the ceremony.

What say you all ?

For years, the human trash that are the Greens and Labor have been disrespecting Anzac Day and trying to belittle, cancel and wash over it. The snail trail Teals disrespecting and talking over it.
The cowardly, sphincter leaking LNP don't have the guts to push back against these dregs of human existence either, sh*tscared they'll lose votes from the activist trash that aren't going to vote for them anyway.
So the dictators in the upper echelons of the Police, the ones that got there by (edited) their way to the top, have nobody with the guts to call them out on this. That's why it's happening.

The Catafalque Party in my NSW country town had real Steyrs, not training ones. Was it just a Queensland thing?

Australia wide I believe. Yet another knee jerk reaction from government due to the threat of firearms in our communities.
Someone please tell me if I am wrong.

And all those that were kept in glass cases at RSL's were either removed permanently or officially made permanently un serviceable.

As did the catafalque party here at our little cenotaph in Central Vic

Australia isn't headed to a good place and one election going the right way ain't gonna fix it.

Also as Australia gets completely overrun with migrants, expect within 20 years ANZAC day to be totally minimized. None of these people have ancestral ties to the World War 1 era, except maybe on the opposing side and with it being 110 years in the rear view mirror of history, it means nothing to them.

Mark my words.

I remember coming home on the train, as a young lad, carrying my cadet issued Lee Enfield and then walking from my train station to my home (a 15 minute walk) AND nobody batted an eyelid. Yes I was in my cadet uniform but what the hell has happened?
We certainly could learn from the past, but it would appear that those running the education system, local, state and federal governments are just afraid of upsetting the fu%&ing minority.

Media and government scare mongering.
