Choice of Orange to represent Multiculturalism in ADF
Mr. Hill...
I would REALLY appreciate an IMMEDIATE answer to my question...
What on earth induced you to choose the colour ORANGE to signify Multiculturalism in the ADF?
The significance (& subsequent explaination of how you COULDN'T pull rank on it's choice) had better be good, because your gross insensitivity has caused the Vietnam Veteran Community MUCH angst.
I have a rough idea of the cost of flyovers of those balloons, and let me tell you that that amount would go quite a way in the Veteran Community towards fixing an anomaly or two.
Paired with this OVBIOUS insult to Veterans (especially TPIs, who live on the poverty line & can't be helped because 'this is going to be a very tight budget' quote Danna Vale, unquote), the choice of ORANGE as a colour of celebration represents the GROSSEST INSENSITIVITY perpertrated by an Australian politician since the sending of our boys to Vietnam.
YOU'VE LOST ME MINISTER... and if you have even a modicum of common sense, your next loss will be your PR staff!
Sack the trendy 'cafe latte set' & get someone in your PR office who's old enough to remember Vietnam and Agent Orange! (Come to think of it... HOW OLD ARE YOU?)
With total lack of regard,
Marilyn
