| Ex-Aussie Soldier allowed to fly Aussie flag after public outcry |
| 2008-10-09 |
| A PUBLIC outcry has forced a Queensland local council to back down on its decision to make a former soldier pull down his Australian flag. Logan City Council ordered former Digger Aaron Wilson to take down the flagpole outside his Eagleby house after a neighbour complained it was "offensive". A furore broke out yesterday as patriotic Australians voiced their support for Mr Wilson, whose friends fought in Iraq, the Courier-Mail reported Only hours later, a council spokeswoman said they would work with Mr Wilson to help him relocate the flag. |
