8 May 2013

cartoonAnzac is important in New Zealand life and over the last few years it has grown in intensity. Sometimes that makes it hard to voice different views about  it all.

At Vaughan Park we think Anzac matters but we also think that a wide range of views need to be heard about it.

Thanks to Brendan Boughen, aka Cartoons by Jim for the use of his 2013 Anzac cartoon.
