Praise on the page for the Anzacs

The Gazette’s widely celebrated Anzac Centenary edition was praised on the floor of the Victorian Parliament last week.
MP for Eastern Victoria Ed O’Donohue took the opportunity to acknowledge the hard work of RSLs in preparing meaningful Anzac commemorations.
He went on to congratulate the Pakenham Gazette for its Anzac coverage.
“I also take the opportunity to acknowledge the Star News Group for the remarkable publication it has put together, the souvenir edition of the Pakenham Gazette. It marks the centenary of Anzac. I is a true historical document that gathers together much information about those who served from the Pakenham, Berwick and West Gippsland districts. I have learned a great deal about many families who are known to me and the services that their members or their forebears gave to our country.
“I take this opportunity to congratulate the Star News Group, particularly editor Garry Howe who poured many hours into this remarkable publication. It will stand the test of time as a commemoration to those who served our nation from the Pakenham, Berwick and West Gippsland areas.”
