Published: June 26, 2012, 11:20 p.m.

This public discussion looks at the meaning of ANZAC Day remembrance. In particular, it discusses how we honour our military through wearing the red poppy, but also how we honour those who choose different paths to peace through wearing the white poppy, and those who seek to do justice to both perspectives by wearing both the red and white poppies. Speakers:Professor Kevin Clements (Director, National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies), Associate Professor Richard Jackson (Deputy Director, National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies), Colonel Roger McElwain (Chief Executive Officer, Language Centre and Foundation Year; previously with the NZ Army)
