That this House:
- Supports the maintenance and upkeep of war memorials that recognise the
service and sacrifice of Australians in all theatres of conflict.
- Acknowledges that nothing is more important than remembering and thanking
those who served in the Australian armed forces.
- Notes that Lone Pine is one of the most significant military events in
Australian history which is why the memorial park in Tuncurry is dedicated to
the memory of those who laid down their lives in that conflict.
- Deplores the actions of vandals who have made several recent attacks on the
Lone Pine Memorial Park.
- Condemns the lack of respect shown for the memory of those who served their
country in the armed services.
- Calls on the Government to fund the sum of $10,000 for the installation of
security lights at Lone Pine Memorial Park which will act as a deterrent to
future acts of vandalism.
