Me too.
The Govt. and media seem to be working together to create a mystical 'ANZAC Spirit'.
You know how the fantasy 'ANZAC Spirit' goes - The sun bronzed everyday Oz superman overcoming evil against overwhelming odds.
Then the next day the the harsh reality of the real 'ANZAC Spirit' presents itself - the media is full of stories about our politicians talking tough,
but in the next instant changing our laws to placate the Indonesians or bowing to pressure from the Seppo's and signing an alleged 'Free Trade Agreement'.
Kissing the Seppo's arses and sucking the cock of any Indonesian Govt. official that happens to drop his pants seems to be a full time occupation for our politicians.
