What are your thoughts on the organisers of Sydney's Big Day Out?

Question

And their attempt to ban the Australian flag from being worn on clothes or brought into the venue due to it being attributed to "gang colours" and inciting racial violence?

Answer 1

I think it is time all Australians took a stand we should have some say !

THE MAJORITY IS RULED BY THE MINORITY –
DEMOCRACY IN ACTION NOT.

IF YOU INTEND TO GO TO THE BIG DAY OUT
READ AND PUT INTO ACTION -

Is Australia Day for Australians or is it for the very small percentage of the minority of our community. The audacity of the organisers of the Great Day Out should hold their heads in shame.

How can you have an Australian Day event and ban Australian Flags.

I as an Australian am deeply offended by the ban.

If we have people that live in our country that are offended by the flag of the nation that allowed them to migrate to this great land, then I would strongly suggest that they find an alternative nation to live in or maybe go back to their OWN country.

So what I have seen so is local traditions like Christmas Carols in Primary Schools are banned, Flags on Bondi Beach Banned, what’s next ANZAC Day?

I think political correctness is doing more damage then good – it’s dividing – not uniting. When a small percentage of the minority can dictate to the majority then there is something seriously wrong within our society. When our national flag is classified by concert organisers as “GANG COLOURS”, then we have major issues in our national pride. If an organiser in America tried this, do you think Americans would accept a ban on their flag….

I think NOT.

Should we ban our flag all together? Ban it from public view, so not to offend a very small percentage of the minority. I always assumed in a democracy that the majority has the say. We seem to work in reverse; we cater to the minority and allow them to dictate to us, we allow traditions, cultures and our way of life to be lost by force of political correction.

I suggest our government take a serious look at who runs this country, the Majority, or Minority. Every Australian household should fly the flag on Australia Day, be they 5th Generation Australian or a new immigrant that have just arrived.

And if you intend going to the event “BIG DAY OUT” be decked out in full Australian clobber – T-shirts in Australian flags, Hats and Caps, Thongs and to top it of two flags per person, show these organisers that they have no right to ban our national flag. So on the day, stand proud, stand tall. Take your flags to show community unity.

Don’t let our National pride be deleted by over sensitive Political Correct organisers.

So since this organiser believes the Australian flag is “GANG COLOURS” Lets show them unity of a gang that is proud and honoured to wear and fly the flag that thousands of Australians died under in wars of past and present.

BE PROUD, BE STRONG, BE AUSTRALIAN.
