I had to laugh really because they were not even fazed by the fact the patch is an iron cross which was once used by white supremacists as a hate symbol. No no no they were only concerned about the use of the aussie flag.

I agree you can sell whatever is legal that you want, if there is a market for it - nothing illegal about a cloth badge.

So what's your take on what that badge actually means? Who buys them?

These days bikers, surfers, scaters all use the iron cross as a symbol rebellion but also strength and standing up for what you believe in.

Actually, there is a lot wrong with it. It contravenes the National Flag act of 1953. You cannot place the Australian flag image onto items like that. There are laws governing the use of the flags image, including the colours must be correct, the proportions of the flag constant and it is not to be used on miscellaneous items. If you with to sell ANY product with the image of the Australian flag on it; even flags you have purchased to resell, you MUST apply to the Cabinet of the Prime Ministers department for written approval to sell any item with the image of the Austrlalian flag on it or the flag itself.

ahh you sound just like the fruit loop in Q. I suspect if that was the case Norco would be in serious trouble

The Australian National Flag may be used for commercial purposes, including advertising, without formal permission. Consideration should be given to the following guidelines:

The flag should be used in a dignified manner and reproduced completely and accurately.
It should not be defaced by overprinting with words or illustrations.
Other objects in displays should not cover the flag.
All symbolic parts of the flag should be identifiable.

wow, can no-one have an opinion on these boards without being subjected to name calling and abuse?

If you actualy read the act in full, not just a paragraph to make your point, you would realise that it means you can use the image of an Australian flag (image of the FLAG itself) as a flag, for commercial purposes. If you with to import a product with the image of the Australian flag on it, or to manufacture anything with the Australian flag on it, you must apply for permission to do so. They require all relevant information and graphics to approve.

If you read it says it is a consideration not a requirement. Wow dick smith, Norco and quite a few others are going to be in serious trouble for not using the flag in its entirety and having text written over the top of it.
