Here's a start and we can keep adding as time goes on
If you like the Union Jack in the corner of 'our' flag then you are a monarchist, and we all know what that entails eg the side show called the royal family staring Prince Charles & Camilla.
True Australians are the majority I'm afraid. We Australians just don't like a flag of another country on our flag.
I think it's about time we removed the Union Jack from the Aussie flag, & replaced it with something more relevant, what do you think?
Time for a new flag?
Sounds like you are British?

What a weird thing to say. I am all for a republic. I think the monarchy is an outdated institution of another culture. But I love our flag and don't want to see it changed. It is beautiful.
What a completely illogical thing to say. I was born 3rd gen Australian. I am an Australian and I have no problem with the UJ on our flag. Don't claim Australian-ship rests on how one feels about the flag. That is the most emotive, irrational reason I've ever seen advanced as an excuse to change. I could just as easily claim real Australians love our flag and those who don't are closet commies. Get real!
Yes, that's exactly what it is - weird & illogical to have the flag of another country on a modern & independant countries flag. It's 2007, not 1777. Let go of your insecurities.
Is that really the best reply you can come up with? What is this? A schoolyard?..... "I know you are so what am I". It is apparent that as a distinct lack of rational thought is being employed here then there is no point continuing.
Knobby22;190947 We don't hate England. I like England and Scotland and Wales and Ireland! We just don't want their flag on our flag. BBC tv is the best.[/quote said:I agree, this is the point of the discussion.

That would be a negative to that Uncle. But nice try.
But it sounds like youve swallowed enough propaganda to hate your own ancestoral origins ...
Next you and the anti Australia crew will want to rename Australia something else seen as Flinders who first suggested the name was British.
I mean if you cant handle the British origins of our flag how on earth could you handle the British origins of our fine countrys name ?
Anyway i just think your logic is seriously flawed and if it was ever enacted all it would do is divide Australians.
What a load of rubbish.
Ask an Aboriginal, or an Australian of Italian Heritage, or Irish, Greek, Vietnamese or anything else for that matter if they consider their ancestoral origins as British.
You cant be serious. Its warped people like you that divide our country.
The only logical thing you state is that it is a fine country.
Women and black people can vote now. Before they couldn't. Lets change something else that is irrational from the past and change the flag too.

I'm a patriot. I feel no special loyalty to Britain. I am glad they gave us our political and legal system and don't even mind having the Queen as our figurehead leader but it is time to have an inclusive flag that repersents Australia.

Actually I thought what Uncle gave was a fair and reasonble point.
It does not make much logic having the flag of another country inside the flag of our soiverign country's flag.

You go on at Uncle about him and the Anti Australia crew?
Enlighten us numbercruncher.... whom is this Anti Australia crew you talk about?
Sorry Nicks i dont wish to partake in this fruitless banter anymore, flags here to stay, you guys who want it removed will need to wait a few generations or start a civil war or something.
