Being Australia Day today - it's a day of
mixed emotions as we look at the past and
look to the future. Some people have brought
up the subject of whether we need a new flag
should we become a Republic.

I thought it might be interesting to see what
the posters of OLO think, and why.

Your thoughts please?

Yes, we need to get rid of the ridiculous Cross of Saint Patrick which is an affront to vexillology; other than that it's OK as it is.

Dear Is Mise,

So you want St. Patrick's Cross deleted but you're
ok with the rest of the Union Jack?

I don't think we need a new flag. However if we do decide to change it, I think we should use the kangaroo from the Australian Made logo.

Dear Aidan,

Google images for new Australian flag.
There's quite interesting designs using
the kangaroo logo as well as other designs.

Funnily enough, if we were to divest ourselves from our current flag, and I see no real reason why we should, I would like to see it replaced with the existing Aboriginal flag with it's striking colour mix.
