I don't know the words to nor do I like our National Anthem. Like many anthems, it is a dirge.

The flag I like.

My sentiments exactly, Ron

Sorry have to disagree on the flag, as long as the Union Jack is in the corner, it will never be a truely Australian flag.

Remember we are not all from English backgrounds.

The Union Jack is NOT the English flag so it doesn't symbolise the English - too many people think that.

I like it because it shows the heritage of those in the First Fleet - people from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

I don't like the Aboriginal flag and would hate to see it as our flag - it would be devisive.

And the Eureka flag is worn by too many bikies.

Have you seen the Hawaiian State flag? Look at the top left corner.

What about the other nationalities here as well.

I don't like the Aboriginal flag either

The Eureka is our first flag and a flag in which we first fought under and where good men died for the rights of other men.

The Hawaiian flag is a state flag not a national flag.

Hi Baz, I was wondering how long it would be before you popped up, after the flag was mentioned.

Sorry Baz but I am still with Ron when it comes to the flag.

The biggest problem with the Southern Cross is that it is now used and abused by both the unions and the labour party.

Use by the unions I can tolerate, but not where the labour party is concerned, as this has politicised it, which has removed it’s original identity. It now lacks any real credibility thanks to the political use.

BTW, Canada replaced it’s flag in an attempt to appease the French ****e in Canada, because it had the Union Jack on it.

It didn’t work and there is no reason to think changing the flag here would be of any benefit to anybody and as far FAR more Australians have fought and died under the present flag, it stands to reason that this IS our flag.
