I believe that that slogan and similar are insinuating that to be an Australian you...
Must speak english everywhere
Must not wear any head coverings
Must not have a religion we don't understand or agree with
Must not be passionate about your heritage or culture
Must not live in a suburb where others of same nationality live
Must not eat food that is not Australian
etc etc
See where I am going here?
When you see it written it is even more silly.
lol
THAT is the hidden agenda/thoughts I see behind such a statement as...
If you don't like Australia get out or f*** off.
Please tell me I am wrong.
Migrants are different just like everyone is different and individual.
Now if you are talking about breaking the law well that's different, yes I agree, especially if it is terrorism...OUT, sooner the better.
now that we are getting specific.
Then if the T Shirt read..
No To Terrorism.
then yes I would fully agree.
You see it is not a general statement. It can't offend anyone except terrorists.
Not that I would be game to wear it.
:-)
we all feel threatened at the moment. I can also understand that.
Whatever it is you smoking, I think you should stop as it seem to give you bad halucinations. Where all these "meanings" you have listed came from?
It is a simple sentence - "If you do not love it, leave." The "it" means Australia as represented by it's symbol - the flag. If you have difficulty understanding what it means, instead of making up some ridiculous assumptions, just look into a dictionary.
"It is not a shame to not know, the shame is to not know and not to ask"
