To recognise a small noisy minority such as the Gay Pride parade in such a way is disheartening to the general community, let alone when recognition of one's service to their country is ignored if you didn't serve overseas. Not to mention that marching on ANZAC day is an honour and to be paid for it against the spirit of the march. I marched as part of a serving military contingent in uniform without thought of compensation. It was an honour to do so.<br /><br />There is a simple solution. Police personnel participating in any form of parade should do so not in uniform, unless it is part of a vice regal function, and not be paid for their time in participating.
