in 2004, former Prime Minister John Howard publicly supported iraq having a bill of rights but would not consider one for Australia. I respect John Howard for many things, but on this matter he failed us, failed freedom and revealed his disregard for a history of tyrants brutilizing the ordinary
" By altering the flag, we would be destroying the many memories that have gone with it. Is this really what you want for our country?

The flag lacks not only the ability to define us as a unique nation but is unidentifiable to others on the world stage. The reconciliation flag should be our flag as it involves symbols that recognises the multicultural background and the Indigenous people. Which flag symbolizes us as Australian citizens better?

Reconciliation is achieved in this flag by the successful use of Aboriginal and European colours.
Good morning. I am William Vissenga and I am presenting to you on the behalf of the Australian Christian lobby, why our government should take control of the issue of reforming the marriage act and furthermore why a plebiscite should not be held. I ask you this, why do we vote every three years? The answer is simple, to choose a party that will form government. A government that will represent the people, a government that will hold the responsibility of making decisions on the behalf its people.
For the first event of the year, the most important one. I choose the fifty year of the Canadian flag. It’s our flag, it’s our colors, it’s our country, it’s our nation and we are proud of it. Well, I am!

To all who can hear the sound of my voice, I urge each and every one of you to join me in establishing a union to contest the thought of becoming a nation that used imperialism as a way to develop our nation. He who believes that as an elected official he is above receiving the point of view from ordinary citizens is self-centered man and does not deserve the support of the people. Any man that has the audacity to send our military into harm’s way without the say of the United States citizens voting for such action is negligent in their duty to the American people. Furthermore, as a nation must understand that the effects of imperialism are not all advantageous as told by our government. As Christian people we must understand that forcefully

Even if it means leaving with an empty stomach, going through the cold and wet. They go through hardships, sufferings and they endure society’s negative treatments.

6 years ago, I walked into a small restaurant with my best friend, Jillian, and her parents. Once we were seated, I looked around and saw a man dressed in a green camo uniform, constrained in a wheelchair. Upon further inspection, I realized this man was also missing his left arm. My friend’s dad, Chris, left the table, approaching the man. When he reached the table, he reached out towards the man, shaking his hand.
The Star Spangled Banner, a staple of sporting events and early school mornings, is played daily. A song that holds a deep meaning to the United States citizens, a second after the first chord chimes through the speakers, everyone stands in unison. Some mouth the words and feel the national spirit, while some stand, respectful of our nation’s history and rebellion against foreign powers. Students should understand that this national song holds significant importance. It signifies our history as a country, unparalleled to others throughout today's world.
