I don't see the issue with a party after midday. Yes, ANZAC day is a special day for remembering troops - in the morning. The afternoon is for celebration.

Two-up games, beers at the RSL, annual AFL Match with Essendon and Collingwood. Go ahead and have a dance party as well. What's the issue?

Yes, I'd have serious problems with it if they were holding it in the morning. But the party was scheduled for 6pm. Go nuts boys and girls, have your party.

Honestly, did anyone outside politicians actually have an issue with this?

Hmm, it seems a bit problematic that it was going to be a political party fundraiser.

If it was a fundraiser for Veterans, or maybe a thankyou party for campaign staff, would the reactions have been different?

I'm wondering how much of this is Greens bashing, and how much of this is genuine.
