Veterans, their families and Australians paying tribute have begun to light up the dawn this Anzac Day to honour those who have served the country.
"We could not gather indeed, but we held candles in driveways and on balconies and we played the Last Post on radios and iPhones as some, especially in our west, will do again today. More than 4,000 people joined the national dawn service, all with special tickets and distanced seating to comply with social distancing measures.
Mr Morrison paid tribute to the 41 Australian lives lost in the conflict, "whom we especially remember and honour this morning".

No you're all weak actually. Strong people don't support governments that kill people under the guise of security which is really land theft.

‘Dumb government fence’: Crowds return for Anzac Day service, but some veterans locked out by fenceJay and Alex both served in East Timor and Iraq, but only one was able to get tickets to the Anzac Day dawn service. They stood separately but together, on either side of a wire fence erected around the event. This image as sad as it is reflects the status of political madness Australia finds itself in...we must find our voice! Absolutely disgraceful. Yet many thousands more can go to the football. Where the logic in that? 😡 Just cancel this ridiculous day.
