Poster by Sam Wallman mocking the attitude among conservative Australians toward different national holidays.
The right side of the poster portrays an “ANZAC day” procession. A militarist annual holiday on the 25th of April, which is used by politicians to glorify past imperialist wars, and to drum up support for future imperialist ventures. The official slogan of the holiday is “Lest we forget”.
The left side of the poster portrays an Invasion day march, held every year on “Australia Day” the 26th of January, which marks the arrival of the British Empire’s ‘First Fleet’ in 1788.
