Tom Elliott has launched a blistering attack on an opinion piece in today’s Age.

Professor Robert Nelson of Monash University wrote that we need to honour ‘the good souls who stayed at home and suffered the opprobrium of not killing’ on Remembrance Day.

But Tom said the piece was ‘fundamentally wrong’. 

‘What sort of rubbish is this?’ he asked.

‘We don’t honour people who don’t go and do something. We honour those who put their lives on the line.’
