Australia Day: repel the vandals

David Flint

As we approach Australia Day, 2010, it is timely to reflect on the birth of our nation, as Americans do at Thanksgiving and on Independence Day. It is not the time for proposals to shred our heritage.

Why is it that republicans think it appropriate on this day to propose the removal of our oldest constitutional institution without telling us what they are planning to put in its place, or to shred our flag without even suggesting the alternative? The sad thing is that they are invariably motivated by a wish to tear down our heritage.

Read Professor David Flint’s article at ACM.

On the same subject, by David Flint:

Malcolm Turnbull returns to the fray

Mr. Turnbull has come out, fighting yet again for a republic but this time, with two significant differences.

First, he wants the referendum to be preceded by a three part plebiscite. In addition, he feels he could now live with a directly elected president. How that will suprise the direct elect republicans with whom he fought so robustly at the 1998 constitutional convention.

  1. Hardly surprising. Australia Day has been so utterly hijacked by Anglophobic republicans and multiculturalists that you wouldn’t even know we were meant to be celebrating the beginning of British settlement on this continent.

    According to such people, the entire period from 1788 until the mid-20th Century, during which Australia drew its people, culture, institutions and way of life almost exclusively from the British Isles, no longer has any relevance whatsoever in modern “multicultural” Australia.

  2. Neal Morris says:

    Face facts.These traitorous idiots are trying the Adolph Hitler act to sieze power and convert Australia to a minion of the International Socialist world with a choice of Fuhrer being Krudd or Turnthe bull. Laugh if you must,but watch out.

  3. Brett_McS says:

    “Malcolm Turnbull has returned to the fray”. Bringing out the Big Guns, eh, republicans?

  4. Some so-called republicans hate our flag for the same reason I love it. The red cross (of Saint George) in the corner.
