Dear Canem Malum,

I am also internationally displaced and there is nothing wrong about it - only about being an international displacer.

Flags are an anachronism, a vestige from a violent past which breeds nationalism. It is nationalism which often forces us to flee our land of birth and live in exile.

Hmm, a flag to represent all of us.
We are made up of those that built the place up from scratch.
Then later those that we invited.
Then later those that asked to come.
Then later those that came uninvited.

Why should the latter two groups have a say on our flag ?
The aboriginals should have a say of course, but they never had a flag anyway.
Abusers please queue to the left.

The people of this country shall eventually decide
on whether or not they want a new flag and what
its design will be. Our current flag was not
formally recognised until 1953 as our national flag.
And whether to replace it will be a decision for the
Australian people to make. I doubt very much whether
having British ancestry will be a criteria for having
a vote on this subject.

As far as my nationality is concerned? -
I am Australian. And my loyalty is to
Australia.

Anyone who claims their loyalty is to
Britain first and foremost - perhaps
should move to that country. It could
prove educational.

Foxy, We are not suggesting loyalty to Britian, we are suggesting allegiance to a system of Westminster Government, culture and laws approved by the crown.

Foxy doesn't believe in keeping Australia's culture the same- so by default she want to replace Australia's culture. She seems to want to do the same for all western cultures. She doesn't see a problem with the governments of Australia going against the interests of the Australia people over the last fifty years.

Yet she speaks in the voice of authority that the issue is over.

This seems to be the same voice of much of the woke-ists.

It's interesting that many people don't participate in the debate and so the woke communists and globalist capitalists skew the debate by aggressive tactics.

As the Dalai Lama says Europe is for the European's.

Every culture needs their own nation.

Many seek to solve the worlds population problems by more population. ie by addressing Australian competitiveness with larger nations by increasing our population. Remember Kevin Rudd talking about a small Australia during the (2003?) election only to have this overturned by (party) pressure becoming a big Australia policy.

Britain created Australia- Foxy and her beliefs are perhaps an evil in the world.

Perhaps she also wants to steal British Australian babies and divide British Australian families.

So much for the times when we believed that strong families and communities were a good thing.

I'm surprised that Foxy can function at all from the ideas she produces- let alone her relationships, family, and community.
