00:00We are here at the Vietnam Memorial and Anzac Parade and it's very sad to see that a site
00:08that marks the service of Australian soldiers and all defence personnel in that campaign
00:13has been desecrated.
00:15It's really disrespectful to all those who have gone before us.
00:18Of course everyone's got a right to protest but this isn't the place to do it.
00:22This is disrespectful.
00:23It's inappropriate.
00:24It's pretty gutless actually to come around here in the middle of the night and sneak
00:29around the back of a site with a spray can.
00:32Be up front.
00:34Of course we have a right to free speech in Australia but this is the wrong place to do
00:38it.
