The Australia Thread - General

My mum and siblings live in Ipswich, their area got flooded before the major flood, looks like it's gonna be trouble for them.

[QUOTE=Devodiere;27343254]The United Kingdom has God save the Queen as their national Anthem. Star Spangled Banned is a war Hymn that has almost nothing to do with the people. The French national anthem almost promotes overthrowing it's own government. The Australian national anthem is a massive wank. Might as well make something that identifies more with the public than just spewing how great we are. Any actual Australian feels weird singing Advance Australia fair, Waltzing Matilda is far closer to us in an artistic sense.[/QUOTE] Might as well make TNT the anthem

Khe Sanh IMO

[QUOTE=Atokniro;27346060]Might as well make TNT the anthem[/QUOTE] Needs to last longer than most modern songs. Waltzing Matilda has been representative of Australians since before Federation.

Fuck it, lets make it Land Down Under

Jailbreak by Acca Dacca, it's long enough

Dang, all these reports about the flood is proberly the closest I'll get to zombies taking over. Everyone on the news is SO FUCKING serious.

Julia Gillard was smug as fuck while talking about it. Guess she's saying fuck you to all the Queenslanders who didn't vote Labor.

Vote labor or drown.

The flood would have never happened if there was a Coalition government in Queensland :smug:

Anthem should totally be "I Am Australian" [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jD3SkTyXzcE[/media]

I reckon if we were to change the flag, we should change it to the Aboriginal flag. not for any reason other than the fact that the Aboriginal flag is fucking beautiful. [IMG]http://www.ausflag.com.au/images/ab.gif[/IMG] I love it.

this should be the australian anthem [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE9vK0QAwyM[/media]

Nah, keep it the same, just replace that flag with the British flag or something.

We already have a massive union jack in our flag, why would you want that?

our flag is fine

They want to change it (the government) made a contribution page somewhere, the top voted one was some god ugly aboriginal coloured flag.

We are still in the commonwealth so the winner will have the union jack on it.

so not worth changing the flag becoming a republic or anything the queen holds no power anymore imo, so it's all good.

Motherfucking foreign produce in my Woolworths. [editline]13th January 2011[/editline] Can't get shit due to floods.

[QUOTE=poopsicle;27325976]That's why you don't go to frankston train station.[/QUOTE] I live on the Frankston line :( So many freaks out after 9pm, but as long as you don't make eye contact they're pretty good. One night a drugged guy was just standing in the passageway next to my seat, staring at me. I just kept looking at the window for about 10mins and he finally left (to freak out someone else, no doubt). Apparently Frankston is a perfect place for families! Funny how in the news article they only interviewed the upper class snobs.
