Peak Engineering & Design.

They must be quite chuffed to find their company logo on a flag.

True... there's only so much pandamonium a country can take.

I know I was when I came here from the UK.

Still prefer to keep the flag that we have - could maybe make the colours a little richer - nothing worse than a tatty flag hanging like a limp dick on a pole!

The best case of Democracy in action I ever saw was on a building site in Sydney in the 80's.

Issue was that a painter has supposedly got a slight shock from some wires.

Site meeting with the Unions was carried out.

The Northern Irish Electrical Delegate and the Painters Delegate talked and talked and talked until the crowd thinned out and then had a vote

Surprise surprise , we were all out on strike for a week.

That's how Democracy works, you bore the majority and get your bill/issue voted in.

Apathy, the greatest tool in the National Party arsenal.

Its about time they went to On-Line voting as this bullshit of going to the local school is pretty dated......oh no don't want that do they, useless Feckers.

The cunts are only just now letting you enrol online rather than try and find an actual fecking Post Orifice. Even then though, still got to fill out the form and scan it to PDF. Cunts.

TECHNOLOGY & ELECTION FRAUD RESEARCH

You'll be wasting your time voting, well, more than usual that is, should we go completely digital.

The deception by our politicians is distraction from more important issues!

there are 6 flag choices, the 4 that look the same, the one nicked of some US logo and the one we have.

Only people who are interested in having a bit of shrub as a flag or a flag showing the Red of China, pushing out the whities will bother voting..... then the 25% will carry the day.

Ah democracy.....

Cracks me up the spin going on about that. The Fern is a logo FFS
