Denmor, on July 17th this year Julie Szego's article entitled, "Tony Abbott's praise of Japanese submariners delivers a blow to nation's psyche" included this concluding paragraph:
"... In his comments on the submariners Abbott verged on prostituting history for his own geo-political ends. Despite the passage of time, many Australian families still experience the flow-on effects of the savagery and loss inflicted by the Japanese Imperial Army. For them and for others Abbott’s remarks were a bridge too far."
