Alternative News - Episode 201604240915

Sunday, 24 April 2016 - 9:15am to 9:30am

Today we will speak about:

What really happened at Gallipoli? Separating the history from the myth.

The  Anzac  Legend  has  been  the  subject  of a lot of debate  between historians,  but  there  has been not enough  attention  given  to  the  highly  contested  nature  of  Anzac  from  the  very beginning  of  its  history.

Anzac  has  been  a  site  for  intense   political  debate  and  social  division,  as  well  as  a focus  of  national  unity.

The labour movement and working - class Australians have been in the front of this debate, refusing to allow conservatives to take over its cultural and historical meanings.
