Military and State flags are completely different to ethnic flags.
The Uniting Church is a military or state organisation? That's news to me.

And the Norfolk Island Flag?

They didn't even have a flag until the 70s. :lol:
What the hell has that got to do with anything?

'They' didn't have the current 'Australian' flag until the 1950s.

Woops, forgot about the Uniting Church flag..there isn't anything wrong with that as it's a religous flag, not a racial one.

Flags that I like:
  • National flags
  • State and Territory flags (like the Norfolk Island flag above)
  • Military flags
  • Religous flags
Willow, why did you post the Eureka flag on the previous page? Isn't it meant to be a "white's only" and "racist" flag according to some of the nutters in this thread??

Because it's meant to be a "racist" thread. The only person in this thread who knows what I am trying to say in this thread is Kurt.

P.S. Fijians don't seem to mind having the Union Jack on their flag and they are bl*ck (without the asterix i'd be called racist). They have a heap of tribes and none of them have their own flag..

So you're happy with Australia being divided by religion? I think that pretty much sums up your racist views.

Wow, a minor adjustment in 1954. :roll:

No, I don't want Australia divided by religion or race for that matter. I'm friends with a few muslim and hindu people you know?
I don't discriminate with religion.
If somebody did, how would it be racist? It's discrimination.

I just picked out a group of flags. The Eureka flag was one of them. Its only a racist flag if you use it in that manner.

So the Uniting Church flag is OK, the RSL flag is OK, presumably you have no issue with sporting flags as well?

It seems to me that you approve of a great many flags. The more that are produced, the more you change your stance.

You just seem to get stuck on the indigenous flags...

You approve of the Norfolk Island flag, but not the Torres Strait Islands flag.

You approve of other flags of Australia because they have some political attachment. But despite the Aboriginal and Torres Strait flags being proclaimed flags of Australia, they still do not meet with your approval.

You approve of church flags because they have a religious grouping. But you cannot approve of an indigenous flag because you believe it has an ethnic grouping.

You approve of every almost every other flag imagineable for a whole host of reasons, and will probably continue to do so, but you can't widen your scope far enough to include the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islands flags. And your only reason is because you have concluded that they represent indigenous people... of Australia.

I'm not Aboriginal gunning, but I think the Aboriginal and TS flags represent an important part of the Australia's heritage.

Moreover, both are official flags of Australia and have been recoginise accordingly by proclaimation:

The Australian Aboriginal flag and the Torres Strait Islander flag were proclaimed as flags of Australia under section 5 of the Flags Act on 14 July 1995. Section 5 provides authority to proclaim "other" flags and ensigns and it had previously been used to give official status to the ensigns of the Royal Australian Navy and Royal Australian Air Force.

Might be an idea for you to just get used to that fact.

Excuse me? Prior to the Flag Act of 1953, there was a red ensign and it still had to be flown at a lower position to the British Flag.

The largely blue Australian National Flag we have today was only officially recognised in 1954 when the Queen of England gave her approval.

Make up your mind. Do you approve of the church flag or not?

Your friends with a muslim and a hindu? Lol, the old some of my best mates are line.

That point went right over your head though (like just about everything) didn't it? You're happy for people to discriminate against others by flying religious flags but as soon as the Aboriginies have a flag of their own it's suddenly twisted up your panties. You're a racist, pure and simple.

I actually do have a muslim mate and hindu mate, you want their names?
I also have friends of african descent, I guess you want their names too?

So you're happy with a religious group having a flag, but not an ethnic group.

But hang on, you just said...

The flag of Australia was chosen in 1901 from entries in a worldwide design competition held following Federation.

Yes, religous groups can have their own flags. Religous groups are different from ethnic groups. Do you think they should have their own flag?

So the Eureka flag is only a racist flag if used in that manner? Well, the Aboriginal flag is the same.

I have no issue with sporting flags, they are in support of a particular team.

The Norfolk Island flag represents a territory of Australia, the Torres Strait Island flag only represents the Torres Strait Islanders.

The flag of Australia represents ALL Australians, not just an ethnic group.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are ethnic group. I ackowledge (sp) that they are the Indigenous people of Australia, but they are Australians, just like us.

The Eureka flag shows Australia's history. Let's use that as our flag..oh wait it's racist because it only represents the whites..
