It's Australia Day tomorrow,26th Jan.
In a news report last light it was declared that anyone flying an Australian flag from their car is an "Exclusive Racist".
Well I fly a flag on my truck & in front of my house.
I don't consider myself a racist,just an Aussie & BLOODY PROUD OF IT!!!
Obviously those who don't like to see the flag on cars etc still don't consider themselves as Aussies.

Why should you be a racist for displaying your countries flag in your own country? Is there a law against it, or is it the "PC" brigade getting out of hand, fly your flags wherever you wish, I DO, bugger the rest of them...R.

No you are not racist. People need to grow up. My dad flys the American flag all year long in California. If people don't like another's culture move. But don't make me change all my traditions because its not your religion and/or culture. Childish thinking. And what gets me, most people go for the bullcrap.

I live in England and flying our own flag is frowned upon in case we upset the ethnics, Birmingham Council even tried to change christmas to wintervill one year for the same reason.
I say be LOUD and PROUD of your country, and if you choose to live elsewhere then respect that country also.

Here i am Tommy ,i read the article on the site last night, i could not believe i told the guys at work this morning, they thought i was joking, i can't repeat whay they said when i told them it was fair dinkum. no doubt this came about from a towel head, if i knew i would not get arrested, i get some guys together wearing white robes with the white hoods to scare them back to the middle east. --- i have two flags on my car for the last week and proud of it.

Tell them to get stuffed Tommy, I have a Aussie flag flying outside my house every day and both me and my wife have a flag on our respective cars for Australia Day.
I just got back from my weekly visit to the Aged Care Centre where I take my dog and she had a flag on for Aussie day.
The flag means something to true Aussies, as far as the rest of the ratbag element in Australia, they can go take a long walk off a short bridge.
Point, if you only have one on your car flag protocol decrees it fly on the right hand side.

The other car has a sticker that says,"If you don't love it,LEAVE!"
When in Rome your expected to do as the Roman's do . Your a Roman arn't you . It's the imported immigrants that should realise that they are now in Rome and adopt to the Roman ways . They should realise that they are now in a new adopted country and should leave their origins behind to become Roman's after all it's they who made the choice to move to Rome . They by insisting on clinging to their origin's and mother country are the one's who are refusing to adapt they are expecting Rome to adapt to them and not them to adapt to Rome. It's they that are causing the tension by refusing to recognize that they have changed their nationalities to Roman and are now not whatever nationality they were. This should apply to every new country and city that people migrate to including Birmingham . Fly your flag high and be proud your ancestors adapted to becoming Australian's didn't they .

You are talking about the miniature sized flags, like the ones the US president has fluttering from both side-view mirrors whenever he is being driven somewhere? "Exclusive racist".....for acknowledging that you are a homegrown citizen of the country you live in celebrating its own day?
That is as stupid as the kids here in the US who were sent home from school on "Cinco de Mayo" (Mexico's independence day) for wearing t-shirts that had the flag of the USA imprinted on them. The racists are the ones who fly their native country's flag ABOVE the one from the country they are mooching in and THAT county's flag beneath it AND upside down.
I hope Australia sells out of flags because EVERYONE who has one flies it on Thursday. And all the other days as well.
Stupid. Just utterly stupid.
