Charging veterans to march for Anzac Day is ‘terribly disrespectful’: Smith

An RSL sub-branch has reportedly been told they would have to pay up to $5,000 for ‘traffic management plans’ for ANZAC dawn services this year. Transport Minister Andrew Constance has since released a statement saying diggers will not be charged to march 'now or anytime into the future.' However, 2GB radio presenter says this statement was ‘carefully worded’ by the Minister, as in fact 'Transport for NSW' told local councils to pay this fee, with some councils then poised to pass on this cost on to RSL clubs and veterans. Mr Smith says this is ‘terribly disrespectful’ to those who have served their country.
