"Thirty seven years ago, a Quarter Master, nearly knocked me over as he
thrust an L1A1 SLR into my hands and bellowed, "Keep that Rifle in Tip Top
Order so you can Kill your Countries Enemies with it before they Kill You.
These days, I do not have to visit exotic overseas countries as my
Countries Enemies are seen wallowing around our seats of government, they
guzzle and cavort at the Public trough so deeply they make Caligula and
Nero look like Church choir boys."


Mr Ron Owen, 2000, in a letter to then Premier Olsen.

You CAN complain to Veteran's Affairs about it, and they will send the company
a nasty letter. They keep a careful eye on the use of Anzac, though not
careful enough IMHO.

What bothers me more is the way nobody can sing the national anthem properly
-- that is, without turning it into a white soul number, including Seppo
accent. The woman who sang at Villers-Bretonneux was definitely an
improvement over the bloke at Gallipoli, but he was no better than the
chicky-babe who sang it at the Golden Slipper last week. Just because you're
performing a song doesn't mean you need to act like you're on Australian Idol,
folks!

Really? Unless the Department of Veterans' Affairs has registered Anzac
as a trademark, and licensed its use to cookie/biscuit companies, I can't
see how the DVA has any say in the matter.

(The Defence Department might get upset if someone created their own
personal Aust & NZ Army Corps, of course.)

DVA does have a say in the use of the name ANZAC:
