Australia Day 2025

@LeichhardtTiger

So what’s the go with this Oz flag biz?

Can I go and ask my local member for a free Ozzy flag? And they give me one for free?…….Free??
And not a $2 shop Chinese made one? But an Oz made Oz flag.

I’ve wanted a flag pole in the front yard for ever, but my Minister for Finance and Fashion Keeps voting against it.
Have a look at this Buttface.

I’ll have one for next years cricket.

My current one is a crappy made in China version.

It’s amazing how many idiots don’t understand how the world works…
Out the front of your place yesterday?

Wtf has a slice of watermelon done lately that’s going to bring down “the colony”?

I see old mate in the background is wearing his fav Johnny Farnham shirt “you are the voice”, good on him.

How’d ya Oz Day BBQ go with the soldiers and the Nepalese? Hopefully the rain didn’t ruin it.
Dead windy here this morning, there’s gunna be leaves in the pool. 🤯
 
I don't celebrate Australia day. I just don't go in for the patriotism stuff. I really like Australia and the Australian people and landscape, not dissing the country or anything. Don't really like birthdays or other such events either. Just always feels more complicated than that.

I'm sympathetic to the Aboriginal Australians who don't feel they can celebrate it, and also the settlers and prisoners who were often sent far from home for crimes of desperation. It's a good day to think about all that, but I don't really get the flag out because I'm a republican and hate english sports team and would like to be independent. I'd go to invasion day events more than Australia day celebrations but I haven't been to either because it's just usually really hot and crowded. Agree with others that we're privileged to be here and very appreciative of our society, even if it is complicated.

It's good we have a day that focuses on us and our history. Everything feels centred around Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon and American celebrities these days and we're missing our own history and situation and replacing it with a much inferior and hyperbolic one.

Spent Australia day camped with family by a river. Aussie flags everywhere, campfires and half remembered American pop songs on a neighbouring family's guitar late into the night done pretty well. Not too many flies and mozzies and the water was cool when the afternoon heat got too much. It's beautiful out there.
