Australia’s dead ‘can’t get a grave’: Labor breaks promise of marking unmarked WWI graves

Sky News host James Macpherson says Australia’s dead “can’t get a grave” after Labor broke its promise of continuing the Morrison government’s goal to mark unmarked World War One graves. His comments follow the Labor government’s broken promise of finding unmarked World War One veterans’ graves and marking them, to which they have only found 42. Under the Morrison government 1,189 World War One graves were marked. “It’s quite a state that our nation is in right now, the living can’t get a house, the dead can’t get a grave," Mr Macpherson said. “The government had promised $3.7 million, they’ve given $800,000 and that’s it.”
