8) well, on the eve of one of the most important days of remberance to those that fought [and died] for Australia, mother England [read United Kingdom]and the Commonwealth, and for the good of all men in two world wars, i think we should forget the flag debate.
there is only one australian flag. it does not need to be changed.
as for the friggen dirge of a national anthem, personally i liked 'god save the queen'
not to hard to change to keep up with changes in family dynasties, just change 'queen' to 'king' when necessary.
and next time you hear the current aus anthem, try singing 'why was she born so beautiful' to the tune - it fits
'why was she born at all'
'girt by sea'
bloody hell, its surounded by water, we knew that.
how does that line convey something to the rest of the world that don't speak 'olde inglish'?
let alone the children of today, whose teachers only know the word 'cause its in the 'anthem'.
stick waltzing matilda too.
its crap.
he was probably a kiwi dole bludging sheep fief and he decked himself.
what sort of gallant country spirit was that?
probably too much rum.
bloody too weak to face the coppers and take the rap.
do the crime - do the time!
