Victorian police have interviewed a 26-year-old man for offensive behavior after he and others booed during a welcome to country at Melbourne’s Anzac Day dawn service, which was led by Bunurong elder Uncle Mark Brown. The incident, condemned by officials including veterans’ affairs minister Matt Keogh and RSL Victoria’s president Robert Webster, drew attention due to the booing being allegedly led by a known neo-Nazi. Despite the disruption, the majority of the over 50,000 attendees showed respect, drowning out the hecklers with applause.
