    Couldn’t agree more….the present set up does not reflect ourselves, although a lot would have to change in Canberra for the political will to change a la Canada.

    Yep. Leave the flag as is and take out the union jack.

    I'd remove the Union Jack but replace that portion of the flag with the indigenous flag

    Forever recognising the original inhabitants of our great country

    I first saw that used in the film, Event Horizon.  Sam Neill was wearing it on his suit...

    Well there you go ... never knew,  HT

    Looks good too

    And I don't dislike or hate the union jack ... it's just time to move on and recognise other, more important aspects to our history (and that goes back approximately 40,000 years)

    By the way, 'Event Horizon' - good movie!

    I am not going to argue with you as you have a fair point however I believe this may be controversial. I would have it just blue.

    Of course,  it would be controversial ... but if it was passed through at a referendum then the majority vote would rule

    But it would probably be even more difficult to remove the union jack

    It's all a bit of a moot point as I can't see a move for real change in the foreseeable future anyway

    Ad for the national anthem ...

    We first replaced God save the Queen in 1974 (Whitlam) with Advance Australia Fair only for GSTQ to be reinstated in 1976 (Fraser) and then back to AAF in 1984 (Hawke) ... back then the ALP & the Coalition favoured one over the other (thus, the back & forth)

    Gough led the original charge from memory

    I remember voting for Waltzing Matilda in a referedum back in 1977 (?)

    If such a flag was agreed to, I’d prefer that the kangaroo was replaced by the stars of the southern cross (in yellow).  Having said that though, appropriating the indigenous flag in this way (removing the sun which is an integral part of their flag), might not sit well with the first nations’ people.  That’s why it probably makes more sense to have it replace the Union Jack on the existing flag, or go with an entirely different design that doesn’t lend itself to any existing flags at all.

    Also, why would we want a flag like the first of those two, that uses the QANTAS kangaroo??

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
