Talk:Miners Flag

Sources and redirect to the Anti-Gold Licence Association
The source for this article is http://www.communitylaw.org.au/loddoncampaspe/a8_publish/modules/publish/content.asp?id=19293&navgrp=1068 I am not convinced it is authorative and am reluctant to use material from the page as it in turn does not cite its sources. The flag is not mentioned in Blainey's The Rush That Never Ended, Manning Clark's A Short History of Australia ...

http://www.anu.edu.au/polsci/marx/interventions/eureka.htm quotes Manning Clark as saying that "William Dexter, waving the diggers flag, roared to them about the evils of "English Tyranny" and the virtues of "Republicanism"." at a meeting at View Point Bendigo on 12 August 1853. There is no description of the flag. The article also includes refernce to Red Ribbons being worn by miner's as a symbol of defiance. I think both this article and the Red Ribbon Rebellion (deleted as being a copyvio) should be redirects to the Anti-Gold Licence Association.--Golden Wattle talk 20:59, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
