'Owe them dignity': Barnaby Joyce demands more funding for unmarked graves of war heroes 

The state of our Bruce Highway is diabolical, as shown by yet another fatality that could have been avoided if it was well maintained. Queensland Truckers Association CEO Gary Mahon said at the current rate of investment it could take 300 years to fix.

FULL SHOW: 4BC Drive with Gary Hardgrave Tuesday November 12th, 2024

Yesterday, we reported on huge funding cuts to a national project that fixes unmarked WW1 graves, so our diggers can have a military plaque or headstone added to their final resting place.

Today, Gary Hardgrave interviews the founders of an incredible organisation called the Australian Remembrance Army, which is in the process of restoring more than 700 of these graves at Lutwyche Cermetery.

But they might have to put their work on hold with the funding drying up - further delaying recognition for our war heroes that should have been given years ago.
