Australia Day

Posted by: Mcihael Smith | 25 January, 2010 - 2:25 PM
Australia

Australia is just fine thank you!  And Australia Day is just perfect too.

We’ve had people running all sorts of campaigns in the lead up to Australia Day.

Change the flag.

Change the nscational anthem.

Change the Australia Day holiday.

Change the head of state.

Change the way we celebrate.

Are we the most unsure-of-ourselves people on earth?

So much of the public discussion of the past week or so has been about changing the things that define us.

Why?

Why not celebrate us for what we are, where we came from and what we stand for.

I think Australia is beaut thanks very much.   And so’s Australia Day.

  • How is Halal food being "forced" on us?

    Bananas are Halal, are you going to avoid them?

  • Halal food being forced on Australians

    The next time you go shopping, look at the packages of well-known grocery items such as cheese, chocolate or even chewing gum. You may find the Halal Certification Authority of Australia.

  • Well Australia Day was just fine Smithy; we had the heighbourhood gather in our garden, listened to Gangajang, Men at Work, MArtha & the Muffins plus other great Aussie music; did the Sam (Lamb) on the BBQ along with the prawns in the esky...and to make the day special we were wathced by a resident koala in one of our trees all day until 8.30pm when he decided to climb down and grace anothers yard with his presence...talk about an Australia Day to savour!

  • Why is the media not holding the government to account by demanding that they respond once and for all to the repeated judicial abuse and judicial corruption allegations by Jennifer Nash against Governor Wensley's brother Robert Wensley QC and the other judges? They deadly silence from Anna Bligh and Governor Wensley is suspicios. Not to mention the silence of the people who are accused of gross judicial misconduct against an unrepresented bullied schoolboy. I would very much like to hear their story now and hear what they have to say about all this. So perhaps you could invite them to speak on your programme about this please?

  • Ray Martin must be feeling a little left out and had to raise his profile by suggesting we change the flag. I suppose it takes the heat off KRUDDY by drawing attention away from Climate Change and other Federal Government stuff ups.

    jock Tuesday 26 January, 2010 - 10:48 AM
  • I for one am sick to death of minorities attempting to run our lives and our country!

    So what if Ray Martin wants to change our flag.

    He is only one person out of 20 million or so.

    His opinion carries no more weight than any other person in Australia.

    Obviously, he is not partiotic and has no alligence to our great Australian flag.

    The flag under countless diggers have fought and died under in defence of our freedom.

    What is your agenda Mr Martin?
