Lest we Forget

I went to Martin Place today to see if there were any signs that the Occupy Sydney protest had ever existed. What I found was a wind and rain swept area devoid of any signs that a democracy movement had ever been there. The only visual reminders were 2 uniformed NSW police officers outside the front doors to The Reserve Bank and 60 Martin Place, the HQ of Westpac.

I took photos of the Commando Memorial (where the Occupy Sydney protest had been centered). Made me think what the commando's died for in WWII if not to uphold the right of the Australian people to take issue with the bank that financed the war they died in.
