Today’s Big Question: National Anthem

These are the big questions where you can have your say. This is an open space for discussion about some very confronting debates in out society. How do you feel? What do you think? These are the real Q&A for the Australian over 60s today.

“After many years of it being optional, should the National Anthem be compulsory in our schools again to instil National pride in our grand-children?”

FOR Yes, especially for younger children, it brings an awareness of how lucky we are to be Australian and also shows respect for the flag.  That then matures into respect for other thins and people.

AGAINST. No. National pride isn’t something you can force on anyone. Children should be taught respect for the flag and the country in the home, not in school.
