Anzac Day is a day to remember all the fallen soldiers and the sacrifices they made for freedom in Australia.

It’s a chance to reflect on what others have given their life for.
Their courage, their determination — like Murray Bourchier, who I spoke about today. Straight off the farm, these kids.
A lot of them are good shots because they’re farmers, but it still took a lot of guts to do what they did.

The defence forces have been a fair chunk of our lives. Both my parents and my wife Glenys’s parents served in World War II.
I was involved in Vietnam and the Indonesian conflict, and Glenys was shore-based.
We met while we were serving in the Navy.
It gives us a chance to think of the people we were with that have passed away then and that have passed away since.

My father was in World War I in France and he died when I was 16. So Anzac Day means a lot to me.
