Remembrance Day 2020: RSLWA promises commemorative COVID-safe public event

Returned and Services League WA chief executive officer John McCourt will join The West Live this morning ahead of Remembrance Day, which unlike Anzac Day this year, will be a publicly attended event.

Rather than small individual services at the end of driveways amid coronavirus restrictions, WA's official service will take place at the State War Memorial in Kings Park tomorrow.

This year there will be a special synchronised performance of The Last Post at major CBD intersections and Kings Park just before the Minute’s Silence.

Mr McCourt will also weigh in on the launch of a new health and welfare service for ex-service personnel called ANZAC House Veteran Central as well as recognition of Indigenous Australians who served in the armed forces.

With serve weather warnings sweeping WA’s south in recent days, podcast host Jenna Clarke will speak to Grape Growers Association of WA President Kevin Peterson about the impacts of the downpour at this time of year.

Choice chief executive officer Alan Kirkland will also join the show to discuss The Shonky Awards, that rates business flaws, such as failing to be upfront about prices.

Sunrise Perth correspondent Matt Tinney will also bring us up to date on the latest news headlines.

After 9.15am, The West Australian's Ben O’Shea will be back to share some quirky stories from across the State in his Wild West segment.

TUNE IN HERE AT 8.45AM.
