OH i know you did sky, but i was more worried about an interesting debate on the significance of flags and different peoples opinions on that being turned into yet another religion-based, locked thread
Following what i said earlier about the aussie flag, I do get the sh!ts when i see the aboriginal flag and the torres strait islander flags being flown above or worse, instead of the aussie flag. I have aboriginal blood running through the veins, but to my way of thinking those 2 flags are so exclusive. the aussie flag encompasses anyone who wants to call themselves australian... not so with the others.
I remember when i was at school we had 2 flagpoles, one normally had the aussie flag and the other flew the international version of my school flag. come to NAIDOC week and down comes those 2, up go the aboriginal and torres strait islander flags, and i stormed straight into the deputy head's office and demanded that the national flag fly. didnt go so well....
