Good post.
I’m sure our ex serviceman would like to hear his views on the Australian Flag and Australia.
Which was predominantly red before Menziies thought it looke too socialist

It’s a minority view these types pop up every Australia day, i mean to actually think the real folk gaf about these leftist views.Good post.

but you keep up with this persistent rubbish of calling anyone that supports Australia day Bogans.
I didn’t say you hate Australia.For wanting a national day on a day Australians did something, and a flag minus foreign symbols I’ve been told I “hate Australia”.
I didn’t say you hate Australia.
We already are and have been for a long long time.We should aim to be a proud peaceful secular multicultural nation
I'd be keen to hear what you think of Jan 1st as a national day - is it more or less worthy than Jan 26th? I think it is infinitely more worthy but unfortunately it's already a holiday and half of us are hungover for it. Seems like trivial reasons against it but practically they do matter.
So March 3rd, the signing of the Australia act, would also be good - it's probably the closest thing we have to an 'Independence Day', and we'd be aligned with most other Commonwealth countries in that we celebrate this independence aspect of our nationhood. Bonus is that the weather is still pretty good around this time.
Doesn’t alter the simple unadorned reality that the King of Australia is not an Australian.
So Dutton should maybe STFU.People are well and truly over politicians lecturing them on how they should be ashamed of their country and themselves.
Such commonsense is in short supply I'm afraid.People are well and truly over Dutton, Cash and co telling everyone they have to celebrate Australia Day. That every council has to have a citizenship ceremony. That every pub has to have a Australia Day event.
Dutton keeps going on about how he is sick and tired of "the lefties" telling everyone what they can and can't do, when he seems to be the one telling us that we should be ashamed if we don't celebrate the day.
In my view, if you want to celebrate Australia Day, go for it.
If you are a pub and you don't want to have a Australia day event, go for it. If you do, go for it.
If you are a local council and you don't want to have a citizenship ceremony, go for it.
Brilliant!Boxing Day is Hot Cross Buns and the LNP complaining about Australia Day.
It's a crap flag.I think that highlights how ****ed this country has become. Too scared to fly the Australian flag. Happier to embrace foreign cultures. It's a sad indictment.
Oh what a joke. Ex-service personnel are ex-service personnel. They don't get some boosted say in how this country conducts itself.Good post.

I think the majority of ex service members in Australia would just like better support and ongoing healthcare from the government so they don't end being scraped off a pavement like my step brother and so many other former military personnel.Good post.

Based on Murdoch's hysterical coverage on the matter in their papers today, shops and pubs and indeed every citizen, should be forced to celebrate Australia DaySo just been to the local Coles and Woolies.
Absolutely zero “Australia” stuff at Woolies. Not a hint of any items.
At Coles the “Australia” themed plastic junk was one shelf, barely had been touched, it was a dark corner at the back of the store well away from where most people shop, and the display wasn’t marked in any way “Australia Day”. It looked like an afterthought, like the store manager thought “shit we’d better put some flag crap on the shelf somewhere so some bogan doesn’t come in here and harass us”.
At all the other stores at the shopping centre - ZERO promotions for Australia Day at any outlet.
However I did notice something interesting. At both Coles and Woolies the Chinese/Lunar New Year display was in a more prominent position, had half of the shelves empty (people are actually buying that stuff), and was clearly marked “celebrate Lunar/CNY 29th of January”
I would portend there’s more Australians who celebrate Chinese/Lunar new year (not just those of Chinese background, Asian Australians make up 1/5 people here now) than those who deck themselves out in flag gear on the 26th.
That’s with absolutely zero media acknowledgment of the day. I say we make CNY/Lunar NY a public holiday in recognition of how prominent Asian culture is now in Australian society. Better than a day observing British convicts hoisting a Union Jack
Mate I’m calling out the lefties. Yes the board is an echo chamber. look at any of the political threads. they’re losing their minds at a Dutton leading the polls and Trump.It’s a minority view these types pop up every Australia day, i mean to actually think the real folk gaf about these leftist views.
i know you’re in this echo chamber so you probably can’t see it but the left is becoming redundant around the world and in a few months time same will happen here but you keep up with this persistent rubbish of calling anyone that supports Australia day Bogans.
And the more Murdoch and Dutton complain, the more I want to oppose it.Based on Murdoch's hysterical coverage on the matter in their papers today, shops and pubs and indeed every citizen, should be forced to celebrate Australia Day
If this board is an "echo chamber" it's because so many right wing viewpoints are shot down by facts, truth and logic. Right wingers who can support their position with facts, truth and logic are in short supply on the anonymous internet sadly.Mate I’m calling out the lefties.

It's also an alternative to the mainstream media which is pro LiberalIf this board is an "echo chamber" it's because so many right wing viewpoints are shot down by facts, truth and logic. Right wingers who can support their position with facts, truth and logic are in short supply on the anonymous internet sadly.
People aren't "losing their minds" over Dutton and Trump, they are giving copious examples of why they are a really, really bad choice.
Tip: "Calling out" anyone is a waste of energy.
A response not unlike those angry at so called Woke dogmaAnd the more Murdoch and Dutton complain, the more I want to oppose it.
If Dutton wants to make Australia Day a partisan thing. I'll indulge him and deliberately avoid anything to do with it, other than taking the Public Holiday.
Gee, fancy a media organisation having the temerity to report on a planned protest of approx 30k people that will disrupt the CBD and potentially the Australian Open Men’s Tennis final.Based on Murdoch's hysterical coverage on the matter in their papers today, shops and pubs and indeed every citizen, should be forced to celebrate Australia Day
No it’s an echo chamber because it’s a leftist site , the funny thing is you and your mates views don’t reflect society and the way the real folk think this is world wide not just Australia.If this board is an "echo chamber" it's because so many right wing viewpoints are shot down by facts, truth and logic.
