Priorities

I don't mind a parade as long as it's one I want to go to and doesn't disrupt city traffic too much. So the parade for this year's winning AFL footie team didn't seem out of place - on a Friday so there would be people around to help celebrate the win! There are some though who are questioning the whole notion of the parade - and this would be the people who were denied permission to parade through the city in August to mark the 60th anniversary of the end of the war in the Pacific. They reportedly had to move their celebration to a Saturday because a Monday parade would have disrupted traffic! The letters to the editor (Daily Telegraph) about this today were less than impressed with the priorities of the decision-makers.
