An illuminating summary of the history of Anzac Day by Carolyn Holbrook from Deakin University. WfaAR comment: In the absence of a Republic, Anzac Day survives and is consistently redefined by all manner of politicians and causes because there is no other way we can reflect the current state of our country to ourselves as a wise head of state does and some Governor-Generals have managed to do – Quentin Bryce being a notable recent example – despite being the representative of the British monarch resident in Canberra.
