SOME University of Queensland students aim to put a dampener on moves to set fire to an Australian flag.
The university's Liberal Club president Julian Simmonds says he has several buckets of free water available today to anyone who objects to "the madness".
Youth Socialist group Resistance has been selling $5 flag-burning kits in the Great Court of the university's St Lucia campus.
"We have seen them around, they have been selling them but no-one has lit up any flags yet," Mr Simmonds said.
"We are just trying to show people this isn't the way to go.
"So, if someone exercises their free right to burn the flag, we will exercise our free right to throw water around."
"They haven't been game enough to burn a flag yet, but we will be watching them."
The Federal Government, the Opposition and the RSL have denounced Resistance's plan to sell the kits.
RSL national president Major General Bill Crews said the league defended the right of everyone to peaceful protest but objected to people being encouraged to burn the flag.
Lets see crowds of flag burners.
Crowds of folks tossing water on said crowds of flag burners.
Does anyone have a corner on the first aid supplies concession stand ?
Water's good. Multi-purpose ABC extinguishers are better.
funny thing is... if it was in America, it would BE the Liberal Club DOING the BURNING!!!
I think it would be more interesting to douse them with gasoline.
In Austrailia students defend the flag from hostile foreigners.
In America hostile foreigners think that American students burn the flag to hatefully.
Now, I now you good people will find this difficult to follow but, Down here, Liberals are the conservatives!
Find some good commie flags and burn them or a good flag with a peace sign on it.
Korans and Hugo Chavez posters .......
Remember that these are "big L" Liberals, referring to supporters of the Liberal Party of Australia. In other words, they are centre-right - a bit analogous to College Republicans.
I would be even more pleased if it were the Young Labor (youth organisation of the ALP) that dared to stop the flag-burning act.
"Find some good commie flags and burn them or a good flag with a peace sign on it."
And then how will the university leftie radicals react?
OkyDoky... Thankx for clearing that up. i thought i was losing my mind!!! 8^)
Jeez, you all do everything backwards! :)
I always thought it was YOU good people who do everything backwards!
Just burn Marx's publications in front of them to see their reaction.
We need a good book burning.
