Fuck, the organisers of the BDO have made some bad decisions this time around. i reckon the request for no flags is a fucking joke, and for once i agree with almost everything the politicians are saying about it.

Considering that for how many years now, the BDO has actually fallen on Australia Day, i'll still be treating it the same way as i have any other year. i'll be wearing the flag with pride - not becuase i'm Australian and your not (for fucks sake my last name is Mitrovich...), but more to celebrate that we live in the best fucking country on earth...

i think anyone who would want to carry a flag around all day is stupid anyway.

I agree.
Australia day isn't about who is the biggest fan of the country. If you can't celebrate it (if you really do, and not just enjoy a public holiday) without a flag then it's kinda missiing the point anyway.

I think it's a good way of discouraging the wanker, over the top aussie pride (race treader) element from coming along.

and it is only in response to last years events, so will be back to normal most likely next year.

The man who ordered an ugly ban

By Stephanie Wilson

January 23, 2007 01:00am
Article from: The Daily Telegraph

THE man trying to outlaw the Australian flag from the Big Day Out for fear it will be used to incite violence once promoted the very root of rebellion and anarchy.

Big Day Out promoter Ken West was a punk band promoter in the '70s, plugging the likes of Iggy Pop and the Violent Femmes with co-promoter Vivian Lees during his career.

West and Lees first met in 1981 when West called Lees, manager of the recently formed Hunters & Collectors, about a show.

Shortly after they met, the pair was arrested and thrown in a police lock-up when they were caught pasting posters promoting a Hunters gig on the walls of the Aboriginal Catholic Mission in Redfern.

Thus began a business partnership, and eventually a company, Creative Festival Entertainment.

They worked together during the 1980s, promoting the likes of Iggy Pop, New Order and the Violent Femmes.

Then, in 1986, the Violent Femmes invited West to act as their manager for a US tour - where he first saw a music festival on a grand scale.

The idea for a similar show in Australia was born and in January, 1992, West staged the first Big Day Out at the old Sydney showgrounds in Moore Park, now Fox Studios.

More recently, West was in the public eye after he threatened to cancel the Big Day Out when he lost a court case brought against Australia's auction website eBay.com.au in a bid to stop ticket scalpers.

Calls to Mr West were not returned yesterday.
