Fraser Criticizes Kishi Wreath at Australian War Memorial
MP J R Fraser questioned the decision for Japan's Prime Minister Kishi to lay a wreath at the Australian War Memorial. He argued the visit could be valuable for trade and understanding but urged the memorial visit be omitted to avoid affront to war dead families. He warned he would rather face affront from Japan than from victims and relatives of those who died in POW camps or the Centaur disaster.
