1. dont change the subject to who was right or wrong in the fucking riots...this is about the flag and what the organisers of this event did.
2. @ highguy - no its not, it had initially been banned from the event, but after public outcry and condemnation by politicians, the organisers withdrew the banning, and have just asked patrons to NOT bring large flags to the event, but they will NOT be confiscated as mentioned before.
3. @ KB -

26 January 1788 was the date on which the First Fleet, under Captain Arthur Phillip arrived at Sydney Cove and set up the Colony of New South Wales
we celebrate the landing, and the birth of a new land (although to the original land owners-the aboroginals, they call it 'Invasion Day'
you can be sure, that come the day of the BDO, there will be thousands of flags on display....just to show that idiot what the flag is..
NO MORE talk about the riots or whos fault they were, this thread is not for that...nor religion bashing/talk allowed.
