#4 If, as in Britain, you have a significant immigrant minority who brag that the flag of Islam will be the flag of the country in the near future are you really surprised that naturalised citizens also use their flag as a symbol? F8ck muslim sensibilities - they don't give tuppence about anyone else. Get yer flags out.

#5 No Howard, the time for "Get yer flags out" has already passed, its "get your guns out" time.

#6 Big Day Out concert organisers said Australias flag was a gang colour which could incite hatred.

WTF??? Your very own country's flag is a "gang colour"?!? Seems like the systematic educating out of partiotism & nationalism in the sweaty masses by the Enlightened Elites has been very successful not only in Europe.

#8 This sort of thing could happen in the U.S. I could see the Dixie Chicks trying to pull a stunt like this.

Not to quibble with ya, Doc, but...

1. That would imply someone's attending a Dixie Chix concert

2. Assuming you find someone to voluntarily attend a DC concert, these days that type would be bringing Old Glory along to set it on fire.

Just some Serbs and Croats confusing the Australian Open with the Country Formerly Known As Yugoslavia.

#10 Big Day Out concert organisers said Australias flag was a gang colour which could incite hatred.

The same could be said of mozzie headscarves and other islamic attire, which is indicative of hatred and repression of non-mozzies.

#11 Once a jolly swagman camped beside a billabong
under the shade of a koolaba tree,
and he sang as he watched and waited while his
billy boiled, 'You'll come a waltzin Matilda with me'.
Arr, ole memories from me days before the mast.
Have at 'em mates, let no ragheads a standin.
