The Greens Party of Western Australia (WA) has been forced to cancel plans to hold a fundraising dance party on ANZAC Day.

Commemorated each year on April 25, New Zealand and Australia pause on ANZAC Day to remember the lives of service people lost in wars, and politicians from all parties traditionally suspend their campaigning to attend dawn and morning services.
