AUSTRALIAN FLAG INCITES RACIST VIOLENCE

In a close vote, the Waverly council voted down a proposal that the Australian flag be flown over a Bondi beach pavilion:

...Greens councillor George Copeland said the flag had been used in the recent race riots as "a symbol around which to perpetrate racial violence".

The insidious impact of flags flown at schools around the coutry is too frightening to contemplate.

Update: The council cites financial and heritage considerations as the determining factors in the decision against flying the flag. Hmm.
