I get the impression that some people conflate Australia as a "country" or society with a symbol - i.e. the flag. To be proud of a flag to me seems odd, but being proud of your country seems quite reasonable. Changing a flag won't change the country you are proud of.
And on the comments around "thugs" being associated with the Eureka flag - so who is often associated with our actual flag? The ugly side of Australian nationalism certainly seems to claim it as their banner.
