Hi Foxy,

Don't be taken in by sensationalist material published in the Sydney 'Daily Tellthemcrap'. The only protested endorsed by the NSW Greens on 26th is the annual protest march from Redfern to the Town Hall, where it is usual for 2,000 to 3,000 people to take part. The organizers always stress before the march begins that it is a peaceful protest, and relations with the police have always been good during its progression.
Peace is paramount, its just a pity that the European has not displayed a whole lot of it towards his indigenous brothers and sisters over the past couple of hundred years.

No one that I know are planning to disrupt any festivities, including the tugboats doing ballet dancing on the harbour, is that a reenactment of something Phillip did? Heck! a local pub is advertising topless barmaids on Australia Day, how more patriotic can you get; meat pies, kangaroos, Holden cars, and boobs with ya beer! Seems this particular pub is extremely patriotic celebrating Australia Day every Thursday afternoon in the same manner. There is some other crazed Ocker on the telly extolling us to kill more sheep on Australia Day and offer them as sacrifice to the Booze God on the BBQ! I think it is to revive memories of Captain Cook or some such thing.

Lets hope there are no tourists in town on that day, we don't want them going home with the wrong idea about us Aussies.

So there's no public flogging of pollies who rort expenses ? No weevil ship's biscuits and foul water to drink? Just rum ?

Dear Paul,

So glad that you've set the record straight.

I must say that when I first read about the so
called "protest," it just didn't add up.

Thanks again.

Foxy,
- Or he quietly supports their actions...

The Telegraph is all lies according to Paul.

Is it not true then that Shoebridge and DiNatoli did not condemn the fringe Green groups proposed activities and their exhortation to burn our flag?

Yanks wear their flag on shirts even in the NY stock exchange to tell them which land they are in. The flag stands behind any speech by a democratically-elected freedom lover so the audience can tell which nation under God and all that it stands for. Do we really have to check which lot of gum trees and wattle we live in by confirming what flag is in sight?
