FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A special Anzac requiem being prepared by the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra will become an enduring hymn or anthem of sacrifice for the next 100 years, former South Australian Premier Mike Rann says.
Just before stepping down as premier last year, Mr Rann approved a $100,000 grant to the orchestra for the preparation of the requiem to be played for the first time in 2015 to mark the centenary of the Gallipoli landings.
He said he hoped the piece would also one day be played at Anzac Cove in Turkey to mark a future Anzac Day.
Holding both Australian and New Zealand citizenship, Mr Rann said the significance of Anzac Day was enshrined in the souls of both Australians and New Zealanders.
“The story of Anzac seared a sense of identity and nationhood in both young countries,” the former premier said.
“It also forged a bond between Australia and New Zealand which is unique, far deeper than any pact, alliance or treaty could create.”
Mr Rann said since the Anzac legend was forged, the two nations had also fought and worked side by side in theatres as diverse as Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, Bougainville, Cyprus, Malaya, the Sinai, Timor-Leste, Iraq, the Solomons and Afghanistan.
“Despite our distance from so many of these conflicts our shared values mean that neutrality in the face of evil or suffering has almost always seemed a cop out,” he said.
“We are not isolationists. We are good citizens. We pay our dues in a difficult world.”
Mr Rann said Australians and New Zealanders should never take for granted the brotherhood that was born on a beach at Gallipoli.
“A ‘ditch’ separates us physically but despite all the chiacking and sibling rivalry in sport, we both know who we’d rather have in the trench beside us,” he said.
