Public outrage has followed in the wake of revelations some diggers were locked out of Anzac Day dawn service events on Sunday.
The Andrews government imposed a 1400 person cap on the event but has been called out for double standards after allowing 75,000 into the MCG for a sport event a few hours later.
Speaking of a picture of a veteran named John who was forced to watch Melbourne’s Dawn Service from behind a temporary fence Sky News Host Paul Murray said, “that image is a disgrace”.
“This man had served his country”.
“Shame on everyone involved in the decision to limit the number of people who could be at the shrine of remembrance … in Melbourne and any other service around Australia.
“John wasn’t allowed to stand with hundreds of others to pay tribute to true heroes. Those who don’t serve their footy club but those who have served their country.”
