Personally im not such a an avid believer in the UN, and i most assuredly would not be pulling our national flag down to put up the Un flag.

International peacekeeping must be a treacherously tricky forum to navigate with international law risk and opportunity to negotiate. Thankfully, at least somebody is doing it mostly unilaterally and without bias. JP |

Can we please have the UN flag on the Aus flag instead of the Union jack?
Would be an improvement. |

There are bigger issues at play always than the proletariat will ever know and I for one am glad there is a unilateral force whose goal is maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, fostering social and economic development, protecting the environment, and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict. I acknowledge the criticism on the UN and as with any organisation, movement or institute it's not perfect is open to factional distortion but it's goals are sound. And Im yet to hear an alternate which does and could provide the unilateral support to replace the UN JP |

IMO, the UN needs Austrlaia more than Australia needs it, but politicians from both sides pander to the UN, seeing appointment to the UN as their next meal ticket. All it would take is for Australia or another sizeable country to pull up stumps and the UN gravy train would be in crisis.
I have a suspicion the flag displacement agreement from 2011, has Kevin Rudd's dirty finger prints all over it, he is/was hell bent on big noting himself on the world stage and would do anything. He still thinks he will be UN Secretary General. Selling out our flag, I wouldn't put it passed Kevin. I'm awaiting confirmation as to who agreed to what. |

UN are toothless tiger/gravy train for washed up pollies. We're better off dealing direct with the superpowers and let the UN do there own thing like trying to steal land through Agenda 21 etc.

I don't mind the union jack on the flag, part of our history & heritage & nothing to be ashamed of, perhaps the flag will be updated more appropriately one day but certainly not with the UN symbol.

Out of all things that concern Australian's, I think this barely rates.
Those who drape themselves in the Aussie flag while doing stupid things and to justify their ignorant and intolerant beliefs are way down on the order too. The are many more people who would fly the same flag who don't share those views. |

1) do you have a problem with Alan Jones and or Andrew Bolt, if you do then carefully articulate your issue and take it up with the appropriate regulatory authorities 2) do you have a problem with people listening to Alan Jones and or Andrew Bolt, in which case there are probably many thousands (possibly hundreds of thousands) of people that fall into that category, form a #tag on twitter and vent. Alternatively banging on pots and pans or holding your breath or banging pots and pans whilst holding your breath, may be options for you to consider 3) you don't like opinions which somehow don't suit your frame of reference and you feel compelled to call out "troll", put up with it, or take your concerns up with management, if there is something inappropriate then management can sort your problems out for you. Oh btw, there is a certain irony in being accused of being a troll in your posts, it is probably lost on you. |

Alan Jones and Andrew Bolt is a bit like A Current Affair and Today Tonight, you lose an IQ point for every minute spent listening or watching :-)
