Green and Gold Kangaroo I could live with- I was shuddering specifically at the thought it would be done in that awful wispy style our Olympic and Y2K logos seemed to go- the look of some odd few brushstrokes that are supposed to vaguely be alike a kangaroo shape- a clear colour like our Qantas emblem I would be fine with.
Although I personally find green and gold much less appealing than night-time blue.

Aboriginal flag in the corner, I understand to some people would be like a German flag with the Star of David plastered onto it- although I personally find it quite aesthetic.

And our soldiers fought under a red flag- not the blue one we have now- but even if it was I seriously doubt they'd care.
But our flag would have to be fairly differentiated- as again, there are dozens of nations that have the southern cross and commonwealth star in the exact same locations on their flag as ours.

I'm entirely in agreement with your last post King Hazza :-)

Obviously few here can come up with a new flag that unifies Australia in its history, culture and values.

Cheers Spinner

And Philo, such a flag arguably does not exist, as there will always be someone to find offense at something- doesn't mean we can't change our flag to something that stands out a bit more.

Yes, yes, yes, I believe the Australian flag should ACCURATELY represent why Australians are in the 21st Century, where no matter the colour of our skin we are the result of tyrannical British Rule and the Eureka Revolt, so our (new) Australian flag should rightly be the Eureka Flag in the centre of the Union Jack with only about 10% of the Union Jack visible on all four boarders.

How about the boxing kangaroo looking up at
the Southern Cross?
