Our leaders from both sides of politics have expressed shock and horror over the banning of the Aussie flag from a Sydney youth music festival Big Day Out. Perhaps they missed those images that were flashed to the TV screens and the Internet for the whole world to see during the shameful events of the Cronulla riots. Here are some as a reminder -
Nowadays, I too get a bit nervous when young people wrapped the Aussie flag come near me. Perhaps the leaders have left it too late to condemn the wrong use of the flag. To many it no longer represents what it used to. Australia no longer represents what she used to. Our Prime Minister had made sure of that over the past decade.

I feel sorry for the organisers - damned if you do and damned if you don't (if trouble breaks out!)
The flag has been hijacked - and Howard doesn't seem to care. But then, he sees votes in lebanese-muslim-bashing.
