Tony Abbott targeted at opening of new memorial

Anzac
protest at Pukeahu
“Peace Action
Wellington welcomed Tony Abbott to Aotearoa with
‘Warmonger Warmonger! OUT! OUT! OUT! at the opening of the
Australian memorial at Pukeahu this morning,” said Peace
Action member Valerie Morse
“Peace Action
Wellington will not remain silent while genocide against
Aboriginal Australians is being committed. We will not be
silent while hundred of refugees are tortured in Australian
concentration camps. We do not feel any obligation to honour
Tony Abbott during the opening of this memorial.”
“While speaking simultaneously about honouring the
sacrifice of people who died in dozen of previous wars, he
and John Key are committing more troops to fight yet another
war for Western dominance in the Middle East.”
“As Anzac day approaches, we encourage people to be
critical of the coopting of the centennial in order to wage
more war.”
