ANZAC Day Services Will Continue As Planned, Despite Premier’s Comments: RSLWA
A spokeswoman for Western Australia’s Returned and Services League, RSLWA, has said that ANZAC Day services will continue as planned, despite reports stating that WA Premier Mark McGowan’s COVID-19 restrictions have cancelled some events.
The controversy began when WA Premier Mark McGowan told reporters on April 20 that restrictions for ANZAC Day ceremonies would remain unchanged, saying that “we are still in a world that has COVID, and we do need to follow the medical advice.”
