The Tewantin Noosa RSL Sub Branch president has condemned a “misleading“ flyer distributed around Noosa using the description of Anzac to encourage protesters.
This comes after hundreds of people gathered outside the Noosa Council Chambers recently in a silent protest against mandated Covid lockdowns and vaccinations.
A poster encouraging people to attend the protest was shared among the community and listed the agenda as “A time for Anzacs to stand across Australia and New Zealand. Our Government in abusive. Enough is enough.”
The Tewantin Noosa RSL Sub Branch nor any other area of RSL Queensland has any affiliation with the group or individual that distributed the flyer and organised the subsequent protest.
Tewantin Noosa RSL Sub Branch president Gino Amarrador said, “We support the right of the public to dissent in matters of local, regional and federal governance, but to utilise the description of Anzac is disingenuous and misleading.“
“It does not, and will never, describe the character of the sacrifice and honourable service required within our active military and veteran community.”
