Big Day Out Flag Issue
There was no flag ban at The Big Day Out. There was a recommendation from Big Day Out asking that unruly patrons not bring their flags. This was presented as a personal choice. The tabloids and shockjocks paraphrased this recommendation, falsely describing it as a 'ban' to sensationalise the issue and inflame their audience. It is an example of the innacurate and hysterical journalism that Sydney is famous for.


 * thank you for bringing this to our notice. we'll look into it and add a correction if needed. &mdash; Doldrums(talk) 08:19, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * They were going to ban flags, that's what the committee recommended, however they backed down, this is stated in the article. There is no need for a correction in this case imo, however it is just the title that is slightly incorrect, perhaps rename to have commas around "flag ban" part of the title Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 08:58, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
