What a crap flag!! Aussies can't grow up and let go of the british motherland, they have to keep the butcher's apron(union jack) on their flag,sad! At least the yanks had Washington and their own flag back in the day. Australia - Britain's permanent colony.
@zavi13 Hmm lets see you have friendlier relations to the UK than what we do, New Zealand, US and China are our major trade partners, we had our independence decades before you, so you know don't be starting a fight that you can't win ladeen
Fucking stupid kids wearing the British flag around their necks. That is not Aussie, that is wealthy sonsof British Immigrants. Only rich white people live in Cronulla, most are English convicts. I must admit the Lebanese guys were acting wankish. But if your going to have a riot wear the Eureka Stockade Flag. The Southern Cross. Thats right you kids don't know your Aussie history.
@nelizmastr actually Australia would still exist but it would not be an majority English speaking country instead we would be speaking either French or Dutch.
@nelizmastr mate, you don know anything about aboriginals aye? lol, no britain no australia? i loled, apparently you should go repeat your special school mate.
@nelizmastr so the 24 seats in the Tweede Kamer held by the PVV are a figment of my imagination all of those people are elected members as are the other 126 representatives of other parties. The Parliament is collective name for both houses the Government is the ruling party or parties thats the same for everywhere.
@irishgodfatherchris first off: we have 75 seats in THIS particular parliament. 2nd: as said earlier: they have a confidence and supply agreement, meaning that they are just there to get the 75 required seats. they DONT rule the country. only CDA and VVD.
@nelizmastr thats the Senaat you're referring to. The ruling party/parties are not the Parliament they are the Government, Mark Rutte is only the Prime Minister because his party has a majority albeit only by one seat.
@nelizmastr okay just to clear a few things up to avoid this happening again the Government is the party or parties that can form a majority in the lower house of Parliament. The Parliament is where all elected politicians (both Federal and Provincial) convene to debate laws and so forth
Many of the former British colonies have the Union Jack. Australia, New Zealand and even Hong Kong before it was returned to the China had the Union Jack on it's flag. The very first American flag had the Union Jack as well, then the stars replaced it.
@AustralianAreRacists Look mate, what is your fucking problem with Australia, on every Australian video your speading shit that isnt at all correct. Tell me what is your problem.
@LORDMCHUGH Actually only a very small percentage can track our origins back that far in this country because half of us are either first or second-generation
@AustralianAreRacists Thats because god doesnt exist you delusional fuck from antarctica. Piss off you white green or yellow coward and take your religion shit with you.
@AustralianAreRacists it's summer in Australia when its Christmas you idiot as well as South Africa, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Falkland Islands, Madagascar etc.
Australia has a beautiful flag and anthem.and I'm American. If I had to leave the USA I'd rather live in Canada or Australia then any ohter place. Just my opinion!
Great anthem.. you aussies could use a new flag in my opinion, but I hope you (and my fellow Canadians) don't forget about our roots and become republics! The monarchy can not possibly oppress its people in any way, it is only representational... long live the brotherly Commonwealth nations, and long live the monarchy
couldnt disagree more about the flag mate. i could talk at length about what the australian flag means and what it represents...it is a beautifull thing, it tells you everything about our great nation.
On the other hand Canadas flag is a maple leaf, that represents nothing, that means nothing. and the background im guessing was just designed to look good. it hurts to see such a great nation have such a meaningless flag.
the maple leaf is extremely representative of Canada's history... it was officially made the symbol of Canada in the 1850s I recall... and has been the unofficial symbol of Canada since about the 1700s.. there was another version proposed at the same time called the Pearson Penant which had the maple leaf with blue bars on either side to represent Canada's motto "A mari usque ad mare" (from sea to sea) but the red and white was a bolder statement, and more unique. hardly means nothing though
yeah the southern cross is great, but u say the union jack represents were u came from? I don't see the usa, canada, south africa or even papua new guinea with it on their own flag..
True, Canada got rid of the Union Jack on our country's flag, but most of our provinces state their origin. Ontario/Manitoba/Newfoundland have the Union Jack, NB, PEI, BC, Alberta have references to England, Quebec has fleur-de-lis from France, Nova Scotia has Scottish coat of arms
It makes alot of bloody sense. It tells our story. It shows us having come from a great civilisation(Union Jack), federated (Federation Star) and our location in the world(Southern Cross). It demonstrates that we are and always will be part of a brother hood of nations (The Commonwealth) which in a proud history but now in a democratic spirit of self autonomy we revel in our glorious institiion of sensible parliamentary democracy
LOL. actually it does. australia was founded by the brits and we're still a colony of hers til this day. so if you look up australia technically we're a constitutional monarchy which means we're still under sovereignty of the queen hence the union jack. crack open a history book once in a while man.
You're not a colony cause you have autonomy. You share a monarch, but not a government. The last time the UK had any say over what happens in Aussie parliament was in 1986.
And the Union Jack should be replaced the Commonwealth Flag. Long live the Commonwealth!
ahh no we arent they cant interfer with our poltics, judiciary or anything else in anyway shape or form so in short the Queen is there for the sake of being there
Australia is independent of the UK, the queen is symbolicly our head of state, but has no real power in Australia. A little bit like the Emperor of Japan.
The Union Jack in the corner of the flag shows where our system of government came from. There are those in Australia who want to change the flag to reflect better who we are as a nation. The flag was designed 100years ago when we were still an outpost of the British Empire.
Could someone please explain the symbolism of your flag, specifically the arrangement and size of the white stars? And why is one star five-pointed while the rest have 7 points?
The stars represent the Southern Cross, the easiest constellation to identify in the southern hemisphere. The size of the stars is proportional to the intensity of their appearance in the night sky I.E The five pointer is smaller and dimmer than the other stars. The star on the left is Alpha Centauri, one of two stars referred to as "The Pointers". It is the closest star to our solar system, hence the size. It was the intended destination of the Robinson family in TV's Lost in Space
He is right about the Southern Cross, but the 7 pointed star represents the five states of Australia (Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia) as well as the two mainland territories which are The Northern Territory and A.C.T (Australian Capital Territory), where the capital {Canberra} is.
The two territories were at the time of federation,administrated by the federal government.
what about you americans? It's the same with you, just that your forefathers werent convicts. They were from Great Britain too and had african slaves, while they killed the native americans...
so just shut up and think before you write bullshit
Actually, America was used as a penal colony before Australia.... Georgia was where most of them ended up. Interestingly enough, Georgia is not too far from Tennessee. But I don't expect Tennessee4444 knows his origins or his ancestry... lol.
Yeah, like North American natives were all hugged, kissed and loved, huh? Today's Aboriginals compared with today's native American Indians, you don't seem to have move on that far...
Is this intended as an insult? If so, its not very successful. Australians like to be able to trace an ancestor back to the arrival of the first fleet. I noticed you are from Germany. Care to comment on your country's legacy?
Love the flag, Fromtaxtoco, if you were to say that here, you would have your face re-arranged, and I would gladly love to do it. We are a great country so fuck you. Have you ever been here you moron?..This is what annoys the crap out of me, when people bag our country when they haven't even been here. Thanks for posting this on YouTube.. :-)
As a Canadian (in the same bullshit monarchist boat as you), I'm deeply disappointed in you Australians. Why? At least you had the chance of a referendum on the monarchy. And you BLEW IT. Thanks a lot. Your crap response to the grand republican question probably means that none of us will get the chance again for a very, very long time. Well done. Now lie in the bed you've made.
lol your so right, as an Aussies i want our country to have its own flag, own national anthem and have nothing to do with monarchy or england. ITS THE 21ST CENTURY PEOPLE!!! there is no such thing as royalists anymore!!! independence for Australia!! God bless our glorious southern cross
we voted no on the referendum because the model of republic that would've been adopted had a Parliamentary selected head of state instead of a directly elected President
australia has inderpendance, and the monarchy is more sutable for the modern era than it was in the medievil era, they keep us safe and wealthy and powerful. as well as making millions of people feel proud. I have thousands of members on my website from canada, australia and other commonwealth realms which would give their lives up for the monarchy. it is realistic, and your views are not.
I wouldn't be so sure. Millions of Australians do not want the union jack flying on our flag, it's a sign of oppression and another country.
Once the queen passes away everything is going to change, you royalists are outnumbered. There is no such thing as royalty in humanity, we are all equal in gods eyes, the queen is no more important then a homeless person on the streets. The world monarchies are falling and fast. bad luck.
those millions of australians arent sure of what they want, they just saying that they want a republic cos somebody had brought it up. In truth britain doesnt have any ruling powers over australia. so australia isnt oppressed at all (whatever gave u that impression). Australia is just apart of the commonwealth of nations and with queen as the head of state...again she has no real direct power.
Then what of our flag representing England? our currency with the queens head? most Aussies do not want anything more to do with the English, we are a country of independence, union jacks belong in England, not Australia =)
britain doesnt have any power over australia, the reason why u got the queens head on ur money is because it's symbolic nothing more. plus the union flag on the aussie flag just means u have the same laws like britain has. So like I said australia is already independent.
Thats not in Keeping up with the ALP Union motto..
Your a Pedophile who enjoyed the benfits of removing child protection to fund your ALP Union Police printing press - and now you want a re-public to remove all responsibility for a state party that has build gas showers (100m hardy VS d10 low-income housing). I would bet being only 22 you could be gr8 ALP racist and seek to better Union members over any other human that may have differing ideals - thus your reply moron.
Wat nicht gefällt es, wenn eine andere Angriffe sme1 menschliche einfach für eine politische ideale .. LMFAO .. Ich frage mich, - Hat das Land dieser Sprache gehört zu haben un-gewählt GM verkauft und durch?
Got a kid to feed some ALP un-elected GM, let me know how the human trial goes when u arrive at the stack'n rack medical system.. I would send you the 25 cents to call someone that cared but well they have nice booklets for that child to learn
fantasypgatour. What a dick. I am as Pom as Pom can be, but I find your comments an insult. How dare you. Please do not think all Poms feel the same, because we dont. Australia is a great nation, and as for myself, as a Pom, I feel proud to be associated to it. Hey Thicksheikh, fair enough comment mate. I love my country, but fuck, where are we headed.....A nice little place in Victoria sounds nice!.......What do ya think..I am solvent.
im so mad for the behavior in big brother, there is no reason to unrespect the mexican flag, why dont you do that with a picture of steve irwin and throw him a stingray barb into his chest,, that would be so funny and a real game for the show
its part of our HISTORY! so for all the people that gave their lives in war for this country, and fought and DIED for this country, you just want to obliterate it all by changing the flag? - your another person wit ha chip on your shoulder about the English...we have our OWN identity. we take no notice of the queen and havent for decades... just be proud and stop your bitching.
AUSSIE FLAG SHOULD BE THAT KANGAROO ONE WITH THE GREEN AND GOLD... but ore respectivly it should be exactly like that cept with the abo flag instead of the Union Jack...

It didn't stand a chance. Only one out of eight states and territories had a 50% plus yes vote. That was the A.C.T.

Love the flag, Fromtaxtoco, if you were to say that here, you would have your face re-arranged, and I would gladly love to do it. We are a great country so fuck you. Have you ever been here you moron?..This is what annoys the crap out of me, when people bag our country when they haven't even been here. Thanks for posting this on YouTube.. :-)

As a Canadian (in the same bullshit monarchist boat as you), I'm deeply disappointed in you Australians. Why? At least you had the chance of a referendum on the monarchy. And you BLEW IT. Thanks a lot. Your crap response to the grand republican question probably means that none of us will get the chance again for a very, very long time. Well done. Now lie in the bed you've made.
janderson4321 3 years ago
lol your so right, as an Aussies i want our country to have its own flag, own national anthem and have nothing to do with monarchy or england. ITS THE 21ST CENTURY PEOPLE!!! there is no such thing as royalists anymore!!! independence for Australia!! God bless our glorious southern cross

There are many cotes in canada, and canadians are loyal to the monarchy, you are in the minority.

we voted no on the referendum because the model of republic that would've been adopted had a Parliamentary selected head of state instead of a directly elected President

its 21st century, monarchy is not realistic anymore. glory to independence for Australia.
cmndo 3 years ago
australia has inderpendance, and the monarchy is more sutable for the modern era than it was in the medievil era, they keep us safe and wealthy and powerful. as well as making millions of people feel proud. I have thousands of members on my website from canada, australia and other commonwealth realms which would give their lives up for the monarchy. it is realistic, and your views are not.
ownlearning 3 years ago
I wouldn't be so sure. Millions of Australians do not want the union jack flying on our flag, it's a sign of oppression and another country.
Once the queen passes away everything is going to change, you royalists are outnumbered. There is no such thing as royalty in humanity, we are all equal in gods eyes, the queen is no more important then a homeless person on the streets. The world monarchies are falling and fast. bad luck.
cmndo 3 years ago
those millions of australians arent sure of what they want, they just saying that they want a republic cos somebody had brought it up. In truth britain doesnt have any ruling powers over australia. so australia isnt oppressed at all (whatever gave u that impression). Australia is just apart of the commonwealth of nations and with queen as the head of state...again she has no real direct power.
matt2house 3 years ago
Then what of our flag representing England? our currency with the queens head? most Aussies do not want anything more to do with the English, we are a country of independence, union jacks belong in England, not Australia =)
cmndo 3 years ago
britain doesnt have any power over australia, the reason why u got the queens head on ur money is because it's symbolic nothing more. plus the union flag on the aussie flag just means u have the same laws like britain has. So like I said australia is already independent.

Thats not in Keeping up with the ALP Union motto..
Your a Pedophile who enjoyed the benfits of removing child protection to fund your ALP Union Police printing press - and now you want a re-public to remove all responsibility for a state party that has build gas showers (100m hardy VS d10 low-income housing). I would bet being only 22 you could be gr8 ALP racist and seek to better Union members over any other human that may have differing ideals - thus your reply moron.
