I am sitting here reading your drivel and I am laughing. Laughing my ass off! Where in the hell did you get this racist nonsense? Being British is not a race! I don't hate anybody from Britain. I am of English and Irish (Catholic) ancestry. Getting back to race, THERE IS NO BRITISH RACE! There is English, Scots, Welsh, and Irish. Don't bring this nonsense to an issue that has fuck all to do with race. It is about a nation that is mature enough to be a republic.

Australians, you should go ahead and become a republic. Screw the Queen. I'm not saying the the UK should get rid of the Queen as well, because the monarchy is important to Brit history and tradition. But don't you think it's time that Australia forge its own path in history as a truly independent nation?

Not now..not after these Indigneous people burnt the aussie flag and spat on it, they dont deserve to be taken seriously...and before any of you black australians say i stole your land etc...I wasnt around 150 years ago !!! get over it...grow up....you should blame your ancestors for not fighting back and for taking a bag of flour in trade for the Northern territory...fools...

@TomCroydon94 Your missing what I'm saying, your not paying attention to what's being said.

[TomCroydon94]

@AFFTL Not being a burden at all, just love the way things are now and love that fact that you are getting cut over an issue that you shouldn't be lowered to that women's tactics over. :)

[AFFTL]

@plusplusplusplusp Don't be muppet and listen to what people say before you judge them. She was actually Right.

Listen to what people actually say before you judge them. The world will be a better place.

[AFFTL]

@TomCroydon94 Ohhh ok, Its obviously you know how the world works. How old are you pal 18, 19. What don't you grow up, and stop being a burden to society. You haven't got a clue what your talking about.

[TomCroydon94]

@AFFTL Love it that your resorting to her tactics, please grow up if you want to be taken seriously. You may have a point but your not coming cross well at all.

[AFFTL]

@TomCroydon94 Your an Idiot, she wasn't bulling anyone, she just got tired of explain her self and being told she was wrong to by a bunch of idiots. Which they clearly where when you heard them speak.

She just got of tired of being interrupted by stupid comments which they. And all she wanted to do is in which I believe in ,which is clearly fucking common senses, which is get the another country's flag off our Flag.

[TomCroydon94]

@AFFTL Yeah I watched it all, so please know the fully story before you judge someone and make comments like that. My point of view is that why should anyone even want to listen to her or even have to if she is going to bully people into telling them what she believes. To me that is unaustralian, freedom on speech is a right but forcing your views onto other people is discussing....

[AFFTL]

@TomCroydon94 She does come across a bit attacking, but can you blame her listen to the muppets she's talking too.

All she's saying she doesn't want another country's flag on the national flag. And is pretty much being called unpatriotic for it. Listen to what people actually say before you judge someone.
