It has always been a peeve of ours that China can make our national flag and prostitute it to make money.
In mexico we couldnt buy a national flag...we were told it was illegal to sell their own flag unless it was on some national holiday in September...go figure!
Our flag should be made only under license, which would be free to Australian citizens.
In Bali and Indonesia as a whole, we always find a lot of national pride in their flag, with all the problems the people have they still have a great deal of pride in it...and from what we have seen, it is only produced locally.
