Labor supports the recognition of our current and former service personnel and the importance of participating in Anzac Day commemorations. It is right that we remember all those who have served our nation under the values of our Anzacs: courage, endurance, mateship and sacrifice. However, Labor cannot support the senator's call to create a medal of remembrance for those personnel who served during the Centenary of Anzac. Labor believes that medals are to recognise our service personnel's service and sacrifice to our country, and not to mark a point in time of their enlistment.
