PLAN FOR VETS TO MARCH WITH THE “ENEMY”

Brian Karlovsky

FEDERAL Fowler MP Chris Hayes has joined members of the Vietnamsese community in Fairfield and Cabramatta to condemn a proposal under which a parade of Australian Vietnam War veterans would march with their former enemies from the North Vietnamese Army and Vietcong fighters.

In a letter to the Primer Minister, Julia Gillard, Mr Hayes wrote “ Whilst I support and encourage all efforts to build harmonious relations, I believe such a parade of Australian veterans marching alongside former Vietcong fighters will send the wrong message to dictatorial regims, namely, that they can continue to deny their people basic freedom whilst continuing to enjoy the support of our country”.

Mr Hayes, who has also voiced his concerns in parliament, said he questioned the appropriateness of such a parade .

Vietnamese Community in Australia vice-president Tri Vo said the community was horrified at the RSL’ s plans to sign a memorandum of understanding with the Vietnamese Veterans Association in Hanoi.

“It’s important for myself and the other members of the community to object to the RSL signing this agreement with the communist authority because they are still a brutal regime, “ Mr Vo said.

“They are still imprisoning and discriminating against the familiesof soldiers who fought for the Army of the Republic of Vietnam.”

Mr Vo called on the PM to scrap the agreement.
