Tours of Gallipoli enable contemporary Australians to witness up close
the tremendous efforts of the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who
lost their lives fighting one of the world’s bloodiest wars. The
preservation and commemoration of their efforts are in full view,
capturing the true spirit of our fallen ancestors and allowing us to be
proud of what so many died to achieve for us.

The Gallipoli Campaign took place at Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey from 25 April 1915 to 9 January 1916, during World War 1. A joint British Empire and French operation was mounted to capture the Ottoman capital and secure a sea route to Russia. The attempt failed, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.

There has been a recent boom in ?Ethical’ products following on from
the success of ?Fair Trade’ and ?Organic’ but is this all marketing
hype designed to boost a company’s profits?

There is no doubt that the use of any of these labels opens up a
totally justified debate on whether they are sufficiently defined to
give the general public the assurances they need. Take ?Fair Trade’
which has now established itself as a recognised standard but what
transparency does the consumer have on whether the price they pay have
any bearing on the fairness claims that are made and is the premium
that they are prepared to pay for such products, on prices set by the
end seller, have more to do with what the market will bear than on
making any real difference to the third world producer?
