No, mate dont get me wrong. Im very much about commemoration and rememberance, especially concerning the Anzacs. I reckon that as a society we should spend alot more time looking at the past. But concerning our flag, i just think its a dead symbol. The union jack has just gotta go. I mean, the whole idea of mateship, and our anti-authoritarian nature was forged through the horror of fighting other people's battles and strongly through the influences of the large immigrant Irish population. I think in many ways we have a proud history, but the flag we have just doesnt do us jusitce.
