Westside News front page, "Hands off our park" - RSL Upset!

Wednesday, November 10, 2010, front page of the local Westside News has a photograph of Mr Kerry Gallagher Toowong RSL Sub Branch President seated in front of the ANZAC PARK sign at the park. The article on page 6 quotes Mr Gallagher as saying that there has to be better ways of accommodating workers. "It degrades the significance of the Anzac name."

The article goes on to quote Toowong resident Arthur Palmer, "Members of fallen soldiers' families have scattered the ashes of their loved ones in that park, and this plan from council is a show of contempt for the sacrifices they've made." He said the plan was utterly offensive and a complete desecration of sacred memorial ground.
