    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 REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
