This is a small sample of one of the flags that could replace the current Australian flag. The design was created by Brendan Jones and the full design can be viewed at ausflag. This flag is definitely my favourite as it uses the Aboriginal and Australian flags together, separated by a strip of white which represents peace and reconciliation, and the yellow forms a boomerang shape. The design is simple and distinctive and has meaning for all Australians. Why a new flag? The Australian flag is not distinct from others (especially New Zealand) and, with the Union Jack in the canton (the position of honour), it is implied that “Britain still commands our loyalty more than does Australia”.
