"… do your children
… sing the nation anthem at their school daily ?
… have an Australian Flag flying proudly over their school grounds ? "
Perhaps few have realised - but our flag is a strong memory of colonial days ---------------- not the best, in this day and age.
As for the anthem ---------------------?
Has anyone noticed that it isn't exactly the most powerful piece of evocative music around? In fact, to many, it is bloody awful.
Perhaps people would be a little more patriotic if we had some music that had power and class - not a boring droll thing that puts everyone to sleep 'before' the footie.
And flying a flag that constantly reminds us of Britain, rather than something that signifies a young dynamic growing nation ----------- well, the story speaks for itself, doesn't it.
I have absolutely no reason to want my children or grandchildren to be kneeling before a flag that symbolises one of the greatest periods of idiocy in human history - colonialism.
I have also no reason to be concerned if they don't get all teared up and joyful at the wailing sounds of people singing our nation anthem ---------- seriously - is that the best we could come up with?
Have a great day all
