Victorian Premier Issues Statement 25 April

VIC Premier

I strongly condemn the hateful disruption of this morning's Dawn Service.

A neo-Nazi disrupting this day is appalling - it has no place here.

Anzac Day honours the values our Anzacs lived and died for: courage, loyalty, mateship, and sacrifice. Those who booed in the dark showed they have none of these qualities.

To pierce the sombre silence of the Dawn Service is more than disrespect - it dishonours all who have served, fought and fallen.

And to boo the Aboriginal servicemen and women who served our nation shows ignorance, hatred, and a complete lack of respect - for them, and for everything Anzac Day stands for.

Anzac Day is a time to unite, reflect, and remember.

Today and every day, we honour every Australian who has served the nation we are so lucky to call our home.
