Most Australians couldn't give a flying fuck about our flag either.
We even keep trying to change it periodically to get the Union Jack off. Hasn't worked yet but it should the next time. We just need some more old people to die.
But things are different here. We aren't forced to recite a 'pledge of allegience' in school every morning. Patriotism just isn't a big thing. Indoctrination doesn't sit well in Australian culture. We're too cynical for that.
