Default Plastic Flags On Cars Am I Un-AUSTRALIAN?

I have been labelled Un-Australian by a few people including my MUM for not wanting to don the increasingly popular plastic flag on my car.
I know it's great to be Australian proud but I refuse to buy a flag that says in small print down the spine "Designed In Australia made in Thailand" or "made in China" so us being Australian by purchasing one of these flags is effectively undoing some of what we are trying to promote.
I mean lucky the Flag of Australia is designed in Australia that nade ne laugh my bollocks off.
I think I am as Australian as they come.
Born in Darwin before Tracey (Your Not A local up there unless you went through it apparently)
I'm not a hair straightening, blow drying metro sexual ( I was Shocked guys own hair dryers that blew me away now I found out they own hair straighteners and can't go out in the rain or it wrecks the do).
Don't eat hungary Jacks anymore as their potatoes come from Yank Farmers now.
I know heaps of Kiwi Jokes.:voldar02:
Drive a 68 Falcon wagon factory V8 of course.
I even go food shopping with my Girlfriend and I am the one who wants to buy Australian made and owned not bloody Mckeins you've done it again frozen Broccoli from China or tinned food from Denmark.
I don't buy Blundstones anymore as they are made in thailand or something now and sacked the local guys to reap more profits (Redback Steelcaps are Aussie owned and made it says so on the box oh and they are comfortable)
But if you don't don the Chinese made Australian flag on your car for Australia Day and a month afterwards whoa look out.
Thanks for reading from one Un-Australian to Another.
