Change the date

I am a World War II veteran and I think it is a disgrace that people vote to have a community function, (the Oyster Festival) on a day that clashes with a very sacred date, especially the 100th year of the commemoration of Armistice Day, 11 November 1918.

In that war, some 62,000 Australian soldiers gave up their lives to try and make the world a better place for us all to live in.

Just think, that's about twice the number of the population on the Peninsula.

How disgusting.

Please vote to change the date.
