There are very few things Philip Adams says that I agree with. But I've always liked his idea about the flag: don't have one.

Become the first and only nation on earth to decide to not have a flag. Now that would get the world's attention.

Just imagine the tears flowing as the various gold medallists stood on the podium while the nation dirge played and NOTHING was raised up the pole.

Just imagine the pride and the slight feeling of homesickness you feel as you travelled the world knowing that every time you saw an empty flag-pole, it represented your country.

Philip Adams was, is, and will always be, a raving idiot. A flag is an essential means of identification.

I have never heard of tinyurl, nor do I know what it does.
However my immediate thought was that this was the place Donald Trump would go to set up his new Social Media platform.
Back to the task at hand, keep the current flag, there's nothing really wrong with it. Having the Southern Cross on board is good enough for me.

The current flag represents 5 crosses of our culture and heritage and three colours of aspiration, purity and blood of toil. If the aborigionals do not like the Southern cross under which they lived for thousands of years; why are we representing them with black the colour of death and depression. How much of the early culture of aboriginals have we adopted as our culture?

At the rate of multiculturalism it might be we have a new flag each week until we fly the flag of China, as all our goods already have their stamp on them. The red flag of blood and toil with yellow stars, earthly aspirations.
