Poles apart - the unapproved SIEVX memorial

If you visit the official Government site you won't find any mention of the SIEV-X memorial.

SIEV X - Wikipedia
While the ACT Government was supportive of the memorial with Chief Minister Jon Stanhope opening the memorial, the Federal Government, tried to stop the memorial being constructed. The National Capital Authority claimed that it was not an approved structure.

Approximately 146 children, 142 women and 65 men died

It's is a profound memorial where each post honours a man, woman or child lost in the tragedy. The posts were hand decorated by schools and community groups from around Australia.
