The Armistice of 11 November 1918 brought the end of a terrible conflict, but the peace lasted another 20 odd years. As the son of the 1939-45 RAAF veteran and as a police veteran myself, I believe that if we are to learn from the service and sacrifice or our forebears and if the honoured phrase Lest We Forget is to continue to resonate, we need to constantly remind ourselves that peace is not just the absence of conflict but the presence of justice. The presence of conflict or the absence of justice is not peace, but something else.
