Hmm, the union jack is our heritage. It was made up of 3 previous flags from 3 separate countries.

But to some on here, heritage in not important. So go out and petition FPV to make a front wheel drive turbo diesel hatch and call it GTHO, play the AFL grand final in Alice Springs, move Australia day to September 11, move ANZAC day to "the last monday of April" so it is always a long weekend, and from now on only write in mandarin instead of English.

Sleekism, you seem to hate our heritage and Great Britain but remember that the Magna Carta and Westminster Law are the reasons why you have not been locked up in a hole in the ground for daring to speak against the government and party politic AND we are writing this in English, not French (who arrived here the same time at Phillip but were driven off) like the pacific islands and quebec or Dutch like the "east indies" and southern africa or Spanish like central and south america or Portugese like brazil and macau or german like north west africa.

History is history. There have been many countries that have ignored their past and created a new independent state and society. North Korea, USSR, Nazi Germany and Myanmar are some fairly recent examples.
