Default Another limitation

I have heard on the news here that the ANZAC parade in Adelaide will not be allowing Military vehicles, this year, for the first time. The news reader cited "security issues" as the reason.

Lynn, More information please. I haven't heard of that decision.
I have been supplying ex-military vehicles for country Victorian ANZAC DAY parades for the past 24 years. I arrange it for 5 different towns in my area. So I would like more information.
I also belong to the Wartime Vehicle Conservation Group of SA Inc., the Victorian Military Vehicle Corps Inc. and am President of the Khaki Vehicle Enthusiasts Inc.
Thanks Rick

We're really getting off topic now, but.........

It's actually the Army which will be withholding their vehicles for OH&S reasons. Private vehicles are welcomed by the RSL. See the article HERE.

First the Army pulls out for Health and Safety liability reasons, and now This happens. I don't know more regarding the circumstances of this incident, but it has reached front page news and I would hazard that it may very well sound the death knell in Australia for vintage vehicles in Anzac parades, or at the very least exhorbitant Liability Insurance premiums.
