Are the 2006 Australian Archery Nationals observing the ANZA Day protocols ?
Is this Anzac Day Act 1958 Correct ?

(1). The restrictions in the Anzac Day Act 1958 with respect to the conduct of sport, eg AFL football and horse racing, and, entertainment, eg cinemas and live theatre, will be maintained, so that such activities are not commenced before 1pm.
However, the Premier will be empowered to permit an earlier commencement of these activities where he or she considers it is in the public interest to do so. In the case of cinemas and live theatre shows, the public interest consideration may be that the nature of the particular cinema or live theatre show is consistent with the principles and values of ANZAC Day and the ANZAC spirit.
(2). Provisions requiring those, whether sporting, gaming or entertainment organisations, who receive commercial benefit for their activities on ANZAC Day, to make a reasonable contribution to the ANZAC Day Proceeds Fund that is commensurate with the commercial outcome of conducting the particular activity on ANZAC Day.
The measure of contribution by sporting, gaming and entertainment organisations to the ANZAC Day Proceeds Fund will be regulated according to a specific formula, or formulas, prescribed by the Premier after consultation with the ANZAC Day Education and Commemoration Committee.
(3). A breach of the Act will attract a penalty up to 100 penalty units (currently $10,000).

i wonder if the terms of the act include non-organised events, ie. solo casual shooting?

The RSL is running a brief service on 25th at the venue.

The Morwell RSL ran a service at the event, and were extremely happy to be asked to do so, They organised everything and it went very well. We sold Anzac day pins for them at the event, and the RSL president said he was happy with how it all went
