Reading Rod's post just gave me goose bumps!

Coat of arms in the corner ain't gunna work as all the tree huggers will be saying we eat the animals on our flag. M2Cw on that bit.
Seems fine the way it is, people always want to change things that aint broke, pee off I say

You get my point though? Coat of arms to represent the forward moving nation we're supposed to be (neither kangaroo nor emu can walk backwards), or just leave it alone. It seems the union jack is the centre of debate - but really?? Is it really that much of a bug in our daily (Australian) lives?? Maybe some of us don't have much of one (life) and have nothing better to do ... I know my family, my friends, and myself all do.

When Bigrig's go bad ... lmao

No other western society country has changed their flags to reflect their now multi-cultural society.

Personally if I was to design a flag, I'd have one with a white top half, green bottom half and a red dragon smack in the middle!!!!!!!!!! :sly::sly::D:p

To tap, or not to tap: Well it's obviously tap because this is the signature hey!!!!!! Duh

Yep - but list the reason as well mate ... that was overwhelming majority that forced that change (and when I say overwhelming, I'm talking 42 million versus 3 million) and for political reasoning - not changed on a whim ...

When are we catching up for a beer on a more important note?? You've been threatening to ransack my fridge, but to date have avoided the charge!! lmao


I'd Tap That!!

When I was a youngin at school - about 35 years ago - part of our curriculum was learning about Russian and American History.

Australian history has been a self learning, 'on the job' process, since I was born. Sad, very sad.

Just reading through this thread and noticed nothing here about PATROLS!!!! HaHa.
I love our Australia and would be happy to fight for it as others have done. Leave our flag alone. it is Austrailian. If people don`t like the Australian way, Get OFF

Hi mate - yep absolutely agree. Not saying I support changing our flag in any way - just stirring Clunk up! And yes - that fridge of yours has eluded me to date - have to fix that. I'm thinking one weekend in the very near future?
