Fed: Rudd says Anzac has etched our national identity=2

Mr Rudd said each generation of Australians had a duty to pass the Anzac torch of values
onto the next generation.

Those values were courage, sacrifice, compassion, mateship, and a deeper humanity -
exemplified by the post-war relationship between Turkey and Australia.

"These are good values, important values, values for a nation, yet values still of
a broader and richer canvas that a narrow nationalism that simply lauds one people over
another," he said.

"We have become by tradition a nation that does not resile from a fight when fight we must."
