Deakin
A Deakin University history expert says a crowd-constrained Anzac Day in 2021 brings to mind the impact of the Spanish Flu pandemic more than a century ago and could lead to a deeper consideration of how wars are fought on the battlefields as well as the home-front.
Dr Bart Ziino, a senior history lecturer in Deakin’s School of Humanities and Social Sciences, said a pandemic-affected Anzac Day in 1919 reminds us that a quieter day allows for greater reflection on how wars had been fought and endured both on the battlefields and in Australian homes.
“Anzac Day 1919 – as in 2021 – was a restricted affair, cruelled but not cowed by the persistent threat of the global Spanish flu pandemic that had already caused hundreds of deaths in Australia and millions worldwide,” Dr Ziino said.

The 10 people who have shaped Sydney
Modern Sydney, as reflected through 190 years of publishing the Herald, has been shaped by many. Here are 10 people who have had an enormous influence on our city.

Talk about a helluva ride since the
Herald’s earliest days. Sydney’s evolution from bushland with the appearance of grassy parkland at the arrival of the First Fleet into a gleaming metropolis has been a tale of triumph and tribulation in equal measure. And some big personalities have left an indelible mark on the physical and social fabric of our city, starting with the indigenous and British powerbrokers and pioneers, to the engineers, designers and developers who have shaped the physical appearance of the city as it spread west and most recently transforming the Hungry Mile into Barangaroo.
- The Daily Telegraph, 15 April, 2021
But it wasn’t just the Tele that went wild over the 101 Doll Squadron dancers, who are Woolloomooloo locals, where the Navy is based:
KARL STEFANOVIC: I love this country. Today Sydney reporter Gabrielle Boyle is following the fallout. Gabby, this was not your normal naval event.
- Today, Nine Network, 15 April, 2021
And even the Nine political editor was strutting his moves:
KARL STEFANOVIC: Go!
ALLISON LANGDON: There you go.
CHRIS UHLMANN: Oooo!
And where did everyone get their footage?
From the national broadcaster of course, which showed a bemused defence chief Angus Campbell sitting through the naval display. So too the Governor-General David Hurley and the Chief of Navy Mike Noonan.
