The Defending Country campaign will draw power from the strength of the evidence that supports it, as well as the passion that drives it.

While the Australian War Memorial’s $550m building program is well advanced (with lots of new concrete and gravel), the Memorial has been equivocal on how it intends to properly recognise and commemorate the Australian Frontier Wars.
Read why the Australian Frontier Wars are important to Australia and Australians. In summary:
- Australia is built on the Frontier Wars.
- The Frontier Wars killed tens of thousands of Australians.
- Intergenerational trauma cannot be left in the silence.
- What we commemorate shows what we regard as important.
- We need to close the Commemoration Gap.
