As usual - poor old Phil's got it all back to front - it was LABOR who made it a symbol of division and tried to cement a vote bloc by supporting any madness any Aboriginal came up with.

Their idea of equality - politics of division and policies of exclusion and policies of forcibly taking things from the 'privileged group' to hand to those considered under-privileged - are frankly insane...... but none of this will affect them personally - they'll all retire on riches for life regardless of the terrible harm they do to all others.

Madness ... madness.. the only thing madder is you people following them blindly .... half-thoughts fed into your feeble minds from this Sect, this Cult, of Modern Labor And The Woke Crowd - and they stick like leeches to what there is of your minds.

The Aboriginal flag triggers you dickhead....That would be because you are a racist piece of crappler as you confirm in every post....You persecuted prick!!!

Peter Dutton knows how to read the room.

Do you agree with Dutton refusing to display the Aboriginal and Tores Strait Island flags Freediver....Do you think this act of rejection will bring Australian's together....Feel free to have an opinion???

Huh

I think it is a storm in a teacup. But he is hopefully signalling that he understands a more fundamental shift in public attitude - that we do not support the government treating people differently according to their race. And we are fed up with corrupt, unaccountable, unelected aboriginal "representatives" who, surprise surprise, always seem to line their own pockets and never actually solve anything. At least, that is what I am hoping it signals. I don't really care about the flag itself, and wonder about people who do.

Do you care about the flag Phil?

As I am related to Aboriginal people I accept their place in Australian history....Is it asking too much they are represented by their own flag....If it doesn't matter why is Dutton making it such an issue Freediver....Why should Aboriginal people accept the Australian flag Freediver....Do you think this act will bring Australian's together by rejecting Aboriginal representation Freediver or you just don't give a crap about Aboriginal people who are all corrupt, unaccountable, unelected aboriginal "representatives???

Huh

A piece of cloth would probably do a better than the current bunch of corrupt sycophants. But that is kind of beside the point, don't you think?

Quote:

Yes. The only way to bring the Australian people together is to reject racism on principle.

Do you think the government should be discriminating on the basis of race?

So giving Indiginous people an identity and representation is racism but denying them their own flag is not....How discriminated against do you feel when you see the Aboriginal flag Freediver....Do you feel as though seeing the Aboriginal flag makes you feel isolated....You claim you do not care but feel discriminated against....You are a racist from way back dickhead!!!

Wow. It's like you were born 2 centuries ago. You want to help, but only in the most condescending and racist manner. It is not up to us to give the aboriginal people an identity, especially in the form of a European war signalling device.

Do you think the government should be discriminating on the basis of race?

So you don't believe Aboriginal people have been discriminated against because of their race....Yet you find a piece of cloth so offensive and divisive that it discriminates against you.....You really are a racist arsehole Freediver!!!

Do you feel the same way about the Nazi flag or the Rising Sun flag?

I mean, there were a lot of decent Germans and Japanese people in the 1930s and 1940s. But the Nazi flag has been condemned as a symbol of hate by people who were mostly not affected by the policies of the Hitler regime.

The aboriginal flag is being seen as a sign of racial division. Generally, I do not have a problem with the aboriginal flag. Except there was this one time I was dared to wear a t-shirt with an aboriginal flag shown. The local indigenous people saw me as confused. Some saw me as "brave". I got a few implied threats. Then there were the community leaders who knew me and had somewhat adopted me as part of the local tribe.

Obviously, the flag provokes the emotions of people it represents. I bet if the Indian supporters at the cricket started running about with the Australian flag, you would raise your eyebrows in concern about the meaning with what they were doing.

My Eureka Stockade flag hung off the wall alongside my Australian flag. I have not been condemned by my parents yet.

Taking the piss out of the Aussies....I wouldn't give a crap....Why does anyone care if Aboriginal people have their own flag....Do you feel discriminated against when you see the Aboriginal flag???

So symbolism is so important to dickheads like you....Why do you think many Aboriginal people do not accept the Australiaqn Flag because of the Union Jack in the corner "Symbolism"....Shove your patriotic bullshit which excludes a whole race of people!!!

Perhaps they HAD been - although I think that even if they had been blonde and blue eyed Stone Age primitives, integrating them into modernity would have been just as fraught and difficult.

Never

....The Government supports Communities and programs to better the lives of many Australian's which is not discrimination it is making everyone's life better....When the Government tries to make people assimilate to one culture or belief it is control and stripping away peoples own identity....People are different with different beliefs does that make them racist....Or does refusing to accept any other symbol or belief other than your own make you a racist....Why is the Aboriginal Flag racist and divisive Freediver???
