ATSIC Chairman Gatjil Djerrkura joined the Ausflag Board this month. He had some very strong words on what indigenous Australians think about our current national flag:


"There can be no true reconciliation with the indigenous people of Australia while the Union Jack remains on the Australian flag. To the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, the Union Jack is a constant reminder of oppression, domination, genocide and dispossession.


"We are seeking a flag of unity and healing under which all Australians are represented equally. We call upon the Government and the people of Australia to share our vision and join the reconciliation process in designing and proclaiming our own flag."
The Union Jack is hugely problematic, there's no doubt, but if feels almost we're chasing that change as a kind of absolution of our own sins. Great Britain started the shit sandwich that is Australian colonialism, but that extends well past Australia's federation. I'd love to know what Gatjil Djerrkura and others think about keeping the southern cross too.

Turkish rock bitches.



Down in the forest, near a village
Lived the man called 'Nick The Chopper'
Chopping woods his game and making money
Caring no for trees, he blindly chops on

Never to be married, he never washes
He never went to school, Nick the chopper
Chopping woods is game and getting money
He does'nt care for life even for a friend now.

He's a dirty old man Nick the chopper
He's a dirty old man Nick the chopper

A very old man he had decided
To make his fortune Nick the chopper
Chopping woods is game, he couldn't stop it
He wants to cut down all the forest

The trees, they hated him they made a promise
Give him a lesson Nİck the Chopper
Chopping woods is game, he couldn't stop it
But as the story goes, he is beaten at his game

He's a dirty old man Nick the chopper
He's a dirty old man Nick the chopper
We are gonna kill you, Nick the chopper
Stundle you with branches Nİck the chopper.

I am personally appalled that they chose to use blue over green for the clash kit.

Where the **** did Riley Bonner go?
 

I've not heard this in ages, and was kinda happy with that situation; dig? Someone else is now singing it in my household. Curse you, Dingle.
Strangle I think? Mind you, I think you could be stundled by branches. I wonder if that won Eurovision in 1976?

Demis Roussos & Nana Mouskouri next?
