manufactured in China?
Haha most likely
I wonder if it is actually possible to buy a mass produced Australian made flag?
Perhaps the one that is on top of Parliament House in Canberra is also made overseas.I found a site that sells various sized Australian Made aussie flags. Bit pricey though if you want anything other than a desk flag…

manufactured in China?
He said…."No Complain"!!!
How Un-Australian!
so what if it is? the process of manufacturing involves the sewing together of coloured threads to make a sheet. it means nothing. however once the item is put together, that's when it becomes an australian symbol…. worrying about where the dye or cotton or sewing machine has come from is pointless. buy australian made all the time if you are diehard patriotic. but you might want to take off your clothes and stop using your computer and pretty much clean out your entire house, because everything is made in chine these days.
Perhaps I should have appended a smiley face at the end of my sentence to indicate that it was a sarcastic remark.
I'm just making fun of the jingoists.

Ah didn't notice that the OP's was 180. Thought it was 150 as well.
Can you get the poles for these that you stick on your car window? :-)
You'd need a bigger pole though.
You really think driving around with 1.8m flag flapping around is safe? If it rips and covers someones window it could kill. But maybe you will consider me being logical and thinking of others to be "un-Australian".
The smiley at the end of my question was my hint of intended sarcasm
Uhh fair enough. Sad part is it's something the bogans would actually do.
I'm sure your being sarcastic and poking fun at the people who drive around with mini flags on their cars
Just in case your not, if I ever see any flag that size being flown from a car I'll make sure the red and blues appear VERY quickly
yay! just the thing I need to be a complete bogan
Here's a typical OzBargainer (flying the Aussie flag) zooming over to a supplier's warehouse to save $2 on postage…
should that be ozboganer ^^^
Whats this dodgy checkout? marketplaceadvisor.channeladvisor.com
mod: remove language
channeladvisor is the same checkout that ExtraStock uses. It's a dreadful system but seems to work OK.
If it's the same as ExtraStocks, the worst thing is dealing with Delivery Addresses… you have to go right to the end to get access to it.
"Wear it - Fly it - Show Your National Pride!"
Sometimes I wonder… those who choose to do this are often the worst examples of what values we Australians would like to uphold. We only have to go back as far as the Cronulla Riots.You seem to be confusing the word "often" with the correct term "sometimes"…very different indeed! Don't misinterpret a mass-media frenzy as reality; as we all know, those too are worlds apart! ;)
Great, more bogans wearing them as capes.
Look it's Super Bogan!How about a bargain for a Southern Cross tattoo, to go with my Aussie flag?
people are focusing too much on bogans who taint the flag, and not the flag itself. who cares if dumbasses hang it over themselves and try to change its meaning? for every bogan who taints it, there are 10 men and women who wear it the right way… as a badge of honour in the line of duty serving or representing the rest of us (military and otherwise).
dont worry about the bogans. and dont worry where the flag is made. every single day you are wearing or using something made from overseas… buy australian made ALL THE TIME if you are that worried about place of origin. worrying about where the material was put together isnt the point. its the symbol thats created that counts. obviously- its best to buy australian made when you can, but lets face it…. if you can get it cheaper elsewhere you will. everyone does.
sorry for the rant, but remember what the flag really stands for…. not what bogans sometimes do with it. there's some comments here that are quite negative of the flag, and i think they are getting confused with what it really stands for. a bogan item of clothing or car decoration isnt treating the flag with respect, so why respect those that do it? dont give them the time of day or a moments thought.
the flag should be treated like it was made from the blood sweat and tears of your mother and father…. because it was. it should be treasured, treated gently like a family heirloom. it should provokes thought and thanks. not anger and hatred.
dont worry about the bogans…. you cant hate them for not understanding it. just pity them.
I haven't seen anyone wear the australian flag the right way since the 90s.
I love this country, but I hate the people that call themselves australians while hating other nationalities/races.Well said UFO!
I fail to understand why white caucasian Aussies claim to be the true Australians, when history documents Aborigines as the original occupants of Australia and white Australians were merely convicts from England. Yup… thieves, robbers, criminals who were expelled from England. I love how white Aussies will tell a non white person to "go home" when in fact they too should also "go home".
Anyways, wtf is the definition of "un-Australian" anyways?
Well, the fact is that the people you call "Aborigines" (who actually find that term insulting & prefer to be called by their particular regional tribal names) themselves originally walked out of Africa, across the shallow ocean from Indonesia shortly after the continents began to drift apart. Therefore, they too are immigrants, as Australia was originally uninhabited. Archeologically verifiable fact!!!
Also, contrary to the common misconceptions of the ignorant, convicts were not the only original settlers either. Transportation was seen by the Colonial & Imperial Governments as a way to introduce some cheap labour to bolster the colony. Of 1 million colonists at the time of cessation of transportation, the total number of convicts transported was 162,000. You really should have attended at least some history lessons! Also historically verifiable fact!!!
I would define "un-Australian" as shooting your mouth off about shit you know nothing about; and slandering a whole society based on your own ignorance & some outdated stereotype! Sound familiar? Frankly, I find your attitude just as abhorrant as the bogans/yobbos you're attempting to villify! You want to hear another definition for your type of comments, racism!
Once you get out & travel this world a bit, you'll find that on the whole, most Australians are among the most generous & accepting across the globe; having ignorant people like you lump them in with the equally ignorant racist minority is simply a gutless slight on the good name of a very decent and accepting multicultural society…in short, STFU!
I agree with Stewballs, no matter how thinly veiled that comment is, you're still taking a cheap jab at Anglo-Australians.
is the definition of “un-Australian” anyways?
Someone who doesn't appreciate nor understand the meaning of multi-culturalism.
Le sigh. This is how racist flame wars are started. Spewing such sophistries makes all us asians look bad. Stop.
Didn't read what stewballs said, but Australia is the land and community we've built.
Australia is what has been created, Australians are the people who grew up here, in Australia, after Australia was built.???
ok i'll bite :).
Yes, Aborigines occupied this land first. So what?
If it wasnt the English, it would have been the Dutch, or Spanish, or French, or any Asian/Indian nation sooner or later. Aboriginals were basically stone age men in a modern world… and without gunpowder, metal, or even the wheel or a common language 'nationwide', they were doomed to be relegated to the history books. What are you going to do…. wind back the clock and tell all those advanced civilizations who took over the weaker to "please stop- don't advance, pretty please" ?No way mate. People come and people go… survival of the strongest. Plenty of far superior nations of old have gone the way of the dodo, what makes some people think that Aboriginals are any more special? They werent even a civilization to be 'conquered'…. just nomadic stone age men with hundreds of different dialects. Certainly not even united- fighting amoungst themselves. Use it or lose it is the big history lesson here. And even then, there's no guarrantee… where's Persia, Mesopotamia, Prussia, Babylon?
Bye bye Aboriginals.

RETAIL king Gerry Harvey says online shoppers buying bargains from overseas should accept paying more for the good of the country

for the good of the country???!!!!!! ha!!!!!!!!
yeah I read about that, such bs.
oh well, I can't see it happening really.Gerry Harvey's just an old fart who can't understand the future possibilities of online retailing.
Not to mention our desire to shop overseas would die down again in a few years time when America is back on the rise.
Assuming the US recovers… China basically owns them now. Or at least, all their currency.
He's certainly not a man who's keen on either change or competition! ;)
"I'm patriotic, but I don't wear or fly the Australian flag cause that's what BOGANS do…"
Nice.
Who would have thought that a posting about a flag on eBay would end up as a lesson in social studies, Australian history, bagonism and patriotism.
That's OzB for ya; we all do tend to digress! ;)
:)
I always thought that a country's flag belongs only on top of a flagpole and should never touch the ground, as well as the only time that the flag covers you is when you are dead and given an honorary military burial of sorts… wearing it like a 'superman' cape seems like an insult to what the flag stands for.
well, well said!!!
I actually find all these cheap car-flags disrespectful to the real flag and annoying. I know most people just do it for a bit of fun and to get in the spirit of Australia day, and I'm all for that, but I wish they would find a more original and respectful way to do it.
Actually, did you know that you can apply for these FOR FREE! Your tax dollars at work, courtesy of the Federal Government. As well as a CD of the National Anthem. Also I guess it goes without saying… free shipping. Starting to sound like it's own OzBargain deal :)
In the last couple of years I applied for the free publication "Australian flags", available free of charge from the electorate offices of Federal Members of Parliament and Senators http://www.itsanhonour.gov.au/symbols/flag.cfm#information, as well as CDs with the "National Anthem" and "Music for a Commemorative Ceremony" from Department of Veteran Affairs http://www.dva.gov.au/commems_oawg/commemorations/commemorat…. I was also sent at no cost a full size Australian Flag, printed fabric but high quality. It was manufactured by Carroll&Richardson (Balwyn, Victoria)(www.flagworld.com.au) and says "Manufactured in Australia". I think they also did the enormous flag at the top end of Elizabeth St., Melbourne. Also included are instructions on protocol and the correct way to fold it, tie knots etc.
I'm not sure if I was entitled to one as an individual, but according to http://www.australiaday.org.au/toolkit/page171.asp:
How to obtain an Australian National Flag
One of the avenues used by the Government to promote the flag is the Constituents' Request Program, which is administered through the electorate offices of Senators and Federal Members of Parliament.
Under this program, certain organisations and institutions, including schools and community organisations, may obtain an Australian national flag free of charge to fly or display as appropriate.
In addition, any member of the public may obtain from a Senator or local Federal Member of Parliament a publication called Australian Flags which explains the history of the Australian National Flag and gives a detailed outline of flag protocol issues.
I'm sure if you asked nicely and there isn't an avalanche of OzBargainer requests, your Federal Member could be convinced to send you one as an individual. At this time of year though, I imagine there is a large seasonal rise in demand and a flood of requests wouldn't be obvious. Hope this helps some of you :)
By the way, if you are after a flagpole, The Reject Shop has a 4.8m one in their new catalogue with other Australiana paraphernalia, for $75, complete with rope and 1.6x1.8m flag. http://www.rejectshop.com.au/assets/pdf/catalogue.pdf on page 2.
A very good info there buddy - Thanks
I'll say this on immigration and being 'Australian'. I have NO issue with immigration, immigrants or even people who bring their own culture to Australia and share a little bit of it. Hell, I love some Chinese food, Indian food, Mexican food…god forbid…american food. But when you arrive in Australia and try to change OUR ways of doing things and getting deeply offended at things that have always been a part of Australian culture, particularly Christmas, Easter etc etc…you can f**k off and go back to where you came from. Your not welcome.
I don't like the term "go back to where you came from" because whilst i agree with your statement, people use that phrase quite loosely in today's society, especially "bogans". They seem to group people together by skin colour and tell them to go back where they came from, even if they adopt the Australian way of life with open arms.
I don't see getting smashed as "Australian" I thought spending time with family and friends (e.g. a bbq!) is what is Australian.
That's what really disgusts me.
