Beyond the actual destruction/construction/validity/invalidity or need or lack of need for this entire 500 million dollar spend, the overall predetermined course of this "community consultation" is very disappointing. It has highlighted how even in a democracy such as Australia the wishes and and views of the vast majority of people will be completely ignored when such views don't line up in agreement with those in power and deep pocketed special interests.
The saga of the AWM expansion has devalued the original concept of the Memorial in the course of which, undermining what many had assumed was the basis of the existence of the National Capital Authority. I agree with those who hold that the current trend encouraged by the current government will turn the AWM into a military amusement park, watering down its original serious contemplative role.
Very saddening to see this whole destructive process play out and to witness the accompanying destruction of its setting in the natural environment.
