It is so good to see that, rather than fresh food, ANZAC Day is reserved for traditional things like getting pissed on VB, with all those Carlton & United Breweries ads to remind us of the link between grog and killing Johnny Turks for King and Empire, Thus does Anzac Day fall prey to the vultures of capitalism. What irony that ANZAC Day itself remembers an imperialist war in which workers from all sides sacrificed themselves for the very people today unleashing the profanities of Woolworths and CUB against the supposed ideals (but not the reality) of the day. There is a logic that is unrelenting to this marketisation of one of Australian capitalism’s holiest days.
