Excuse me, are you forgetting our communist friends? The hammer and sickle must also go in there somewhere.

I dont like this flag, and I dont like the idea that we have to include aboriginal elements just so we dont offend aboriginals. Whats done is fucking done, aboriginals had their land invaded, there have been countless apologies and attempts at compensation, it is honestly a bit stupid to continually do these kinds of things. No need to elevate aboriginal culture above ours, as everyone says, we should all be treated equally. Why should aboriginal culture be honoured over ours?
This 100%.

Let's be realistic there.

I think the current flag has far more personal meaning as well as symbolic value for millions over generations in contrast to what any newly-incorporating flag can compensate.

are you a racist? don't you know that this flag is the masthead of over two centuries of oppression?

We are still a part of the Commonwealth and until we aren't we should leave the flag as it is.
We would/could be part of the commonwealth even if we were a republic. Commonwealth counties just have to be currently or have been part of the empire.

Also re: flag. Should we change it: maybe, it doesn't really matter / I don't think the current flag has been as prominent or ingrained in Australia's history as people think, so I don't see the need to be overly attached to it.

I am 120% not racist. :C I was going for more of the positive achievements it represents.
Well everyone is racist deep within, imo. Its just politically incorrect to express that. Humans feel a sense of bonding through the driving neurotransmitter oxytocin, with their own kin, their own culture and lifestyle. Mixing these in the name of "multiculturalism" is a sure trail to cultural destruction. Politicians have led society to believe multiculturalism a positive thing, that all races can live together. On the neurological level, its been proven they cant. And now so many more levels are being discovered, proving that multiculturalism is a poison to national identity. this is what ive been reading about recently. If anyone's been hearing about the new laws the netherlands have been introducing, they might know about the dark phrase circulating around english speaking countries under the political radar, "Go dutch".
