It is the greatest of all insults to have some boss serving miserable mongrels tell us that our flag can not be flown from building sites, or form any other place for that matter. It is a flag of, and by, the hard working battlers of Australia. Its origins were formed in the fire of bitter struggle. If it a bitter, prolonged and hard fought battle these morons are after then let them bring it on! It is a measure of the terror that the mere thought of a truely independent and sovereign Australia strikes in the hearts, no, what passes for hearts I should say; of these scurrilous ultra- conservative morons that is behind their attempts to ban the Eureka flag, the workers flag. They are terrified of losing their privelige, wealth and power.

We need to take the fight up to them and for the moment we ought to think about flooding the country with our flag, our symbol of our aspiration for a truly just and sovereign Australia. Let us make stickers large and small, T-shirts and a host of other such things. Let there be nowhere in Australia where our flag can not be seen on something. If that tactic does not stop the rot then we may have to revert to Banjo Pattersons thoughts in "Freedom on the Wallaby" where he says in the last verse:

"So we must fly a rebel flag
As others did before us,
And we must sing a rebel song
And join in rebel chorus.
We'll maske the tyrants feel the sting
O' those that they would throttle;
They needn't say the fault is ours
If blood should stain the wattle."

There are many of us who are sick and tired of the direction our country is being taken in. Some of my ancestors are from Ballarat of those times. Personally I find it a huge insult that this tactic has been taken by bludging politicians and other bureaucratic parisites. It is time, in my humble opinion, to bypass the whole parliamentary shebang and build a great peoples' movement that can lead us toward meaningful and very fundamental change for the better. The establishment and parliament have had much more than a fair time to do something in the peoples' interests and yet we find ourselved today in so many ways right back in much the same position as workers were in 1890's before parliament existed here. What damn use is it then? This country needs to be run by and for and in the interests of the vast majority of us who live and work in this country, not run for and in the interests of those greedy, unprincipled profiteering multinationals and their mongrel stooges. What do people think?
