Apologies if this is off topic, but please could someone explain to me why (in reference to the Daily Mail article) one of the state premiers has renamed Anzac Day? I've always been under the impression that Anzac Day (also marked here in Lancashire, as Gallipoli Day, as many members of the Lancashire Fusiliers sadly lost their lives that day, alongside many soldiers from Australia and New Zealand), was considered to be very important in Australia.
Although I would be sad to see Australia become a republic, I understand why people may feel that Australia needs its own Head of State, rather than someone who lives on the other side of the world. However, I really don't see the need to decapitate a statue of George V. But that seems to be the way that protesters carry on these days - don't get me started on people who block roads, or throw paint to spoil other people's enjoyment of sporting events!
