Big Day Out and flying the flag

Sure Australian bands are part of the draw to the big day out. Some years they even have to be headliners. I don't really know who organizes the big day out but I have to kind of agree with them. For the same reason I can't get into certain bars wearing a footy jumper a Victorian Icon, a huge part of Australian heritage and uniqeuness so to should the Big Day out be okay to ban Australian flags in Sydney.
Fact is despite what NSW premier some dude says it isn't a unifying symbol anymore.
Australian values are confused and the old way is sadly an indefensible position that is dyeing a slow death and like an unpopular alcoholic grandpa is making their death throws as unpleasant as possible.
I've been down this road so many times I feel less and less welcome in my own country every time it gets brought up. But just as protestors in America should be able to burn the US flag without fear of incarceration so should a private company be able to ban a flag that has been used to bully and intimidate in the past from the event they are paying for and the venue they have hired.
But people who say this is an insult and that it is a symbol of unity maybe we need to start considering:

1. The Australian flag includes the Union Jack -
yet we are in Asia it's a fact, undisputible we are nowhere near Europe, logically we are part of Asia, it's where our socceroos start playing and most of our international students come from Asia.
Furthermore the European population is in decline as a continent, so is the Ageing population of Australia. Migration still favors Britain but to a lesser extent. Furthermore since Britain is suffering the same brain drain as Australia on its youth it is untenable to think that European Australians will continue to sustain their majority population at the time.

2. The Big Day Out features International Acts -
Yes they are in Australia but if I were performing in Iraq or the US I would be distinctly uncomfortable and feel excluded should the crowd be waving their flags the whole time. I'd probably mumble something about how great it was to be in Australia, America, Canada, Germany, Sudan, Iraq, Pakistan etc. As a pro would do but that being said there are many people from other countries that make up todays youth culture and thanks to a few wars from entirely different backgrounds to farmers and convicts from the UK.
To have gangs using their flags as colours isn't really surprising because what else is a flag but gang colours?

To say a flag is a symbol of unity is correct, but it's a kind of gang unity a brothers in arms, we cant pretend it's a bridging symbol of piece. It's something that people have traditionally raised up over a piece of ground to say stay off. And it used to make sense because the world use to be much larger. The population was half what it used to be. It took days to walk over mountain passes to the next city in fact most countries were arranged into city states.
So you unified your local militia with a flag against the threat of outsiders?

But I think the threat of outsiders is an illusion, in the old days of warring states periods usually the unifying forces where infact the aggressors who came in, conquered and the lasting ones usually set about reforming land entitlements, political representation, tax collection etc birthing modern nations.
And if you take say a country as recently divided into city states as Italy (in the renaissance it consisted of several small countries The Republic of Florence, The Duchy of Milan, The Papel States etc.) and go there today the cities themselves retain their distanct cultures and cuisine and pride and generally take out their frustrations with eachother in soccer matches.
My point merely being that even with a massive influx of migration, and a transformation from Australia from a European Wannabe to a continental meeting point betwixt Asia, Africa and Europe (?) I'd say a lot of the European overtones wont be lost such as:

Organisation of Streets
Historical Architecture
Government Organisation (Unless we get conquered by Monghols)
Gregorian Calander
Public Holidays (except for maybe the Queens Birthday)

But some things may change and we have to say goodbye to:

Churches as the most numerous and popular religious venues
Single Language Brochure stands

And that's pretty much all I can think of. There may also be necessary some kind of land reform as All of Australia is now owned it's hard to accomodate new Migrants and provide them with gainful employment which is probably the main cause of anxiety over foreign invasion - that crime will increase.
The other thing a Nation like ours needs to get used to is the inherant changes with the passage of time. Namely the Baby Boomers and War Veterans present has passed into history, there's no longer a feeling that we are here to defend the Queen, we understand inflation and that we should stop asserting weak stereotypes from the past onto new generations.
Exhibit and one I truly can't comprehend is SYN fm and it's all Aussie music show 'The Hoist' it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out it was a reference to a Hills Hoist which were mostly removed from backyards when I was in my formative years.
Most SYN volunteers are under 18 and between 21-16 which if I can barely remember a Hills Hoist clothes line surprises me that they can apart from at the 2000 Sydney Olympics opening ceremony.
I'm not so ignorant as to pretend they don't exist anymore, and havent fearfully stood below one spinning around in my later years playing Goon of Death but my point is merely it's not an Australian institution any more. They were declared dangerous I'm pretty sure and at least an eyesore in another dissapeared urban Australian institution of 'the back yard' they are going, going, gone.
What baffles me is why a youth station chose such a relic of a bygone era as it's name for a show designed to promote up and coming Australian bands. Except that the campaign of the old deathrows Australia is winning and it can convince a generation of kids that the Hills Hoist, as decimated in population as most Australian Natives is still an icon to which the new generations can rally to.

thoughts. Should I be tried for treason?
