Newcastle Council you are an absolute disgrace, you need to hand your head in shame. How dare you charge Miloitary Associations for the privilege of marching in memory of their fallen comrades and brothers/sisters.

This is just disgusting, shame on you Newcastle Council! No- one should have to pay to remember our fallen heroes or thank those still putting their lives on the line.

This is definitely the most discusting story to come out of any Australian Council for some time. Another reason to stay away from Newcastle!

Disgusting Newcastle Council! You should be ashamed of yourselves! If it wasn't for these men and women defending our country, you wouldn't even have a council to run!!

This decision by NCC is appalling. Soldiers past and present put their lives on the line for our freedom, our way of life, and their loss is our countries burden to bear and honour. How disprespectful and petty of NCC and the Mayor to make this decision on their constituants behalf. It is discraceful and needs to be overturned.

I think it is absolutely disgusting that the RSLs, National Servicesmens Association and any other current or future returned servicesmens group would be charged to use Council facilities for a remembrance service. Shame on you Newcastle Council

the council are voted in so maybe we should vote them out and replace them with people who actually care about their role, the people they serve and, their country.
