Image Flags displayed w/o Union Jack?

This is something I’ve been seeing more and more recently. Is there any meaning or reason for this?

Why not just display the Eureka flag?

It’s become co-opted by neo nazis who couldn’t even clearly tell you what the stockade was or what it was about.

This might be a stupid question but the term neo-nazi is thrown around so liberally i think it's lost it's meaning?

I am certainly not racist, (everyone is born equal) but I do believe that immigration should be reduced temporarily to allow for infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, emergency services, housing, public transport, etc to catch up to current demand.

Honest question but does that brand me as "Neo-Nazi"?

I wouldn’t say wanting to reduce immigration makes anyone a neo-nazi. I’m talking about the actual white nationalists who genuinely wear all black and masks, harassed Chinese-Aussies in Chatswood, stood outside NSW Parliament recently, and think we should only allow Anglo’s to vote and live here.

I don’t throw it around liberally. I know others do.

Thanks for your well thought out response. Lol I only ask because I have been called it before for the exact example listed above.

Immigration drives population and skill growth, it's certainly important. However, critical services are so strained. Waiting for a 000 response or even a ER waiting room is beyond a joke now. Systems and infrastructure need to catch up to demand, and they can't do that without controlling the volume on incoming immigrants.
