Hi PAUL1405...

OK then. How about we replace the Union Jack with the current Aboriginal flag in the top left hand corner, and retain the Southern Cross as it is? That is of course, it's necessary that we change our existing flag at all?

Pacifism, I think we're all essentially peace loving Paul. Unfortunately, circumstances and some people have a way of unilaterally dislodging that pacifism from us, whether or not we wish it to be so? In my case, first it was Vietnam, and later during my working life, I met some really vile, revolting people that took every ounce of self-control to prevent me from beating the 'bejesus' out of them! And had I weakened for just a moment in time, and I did (occasionally) come awfully close, I'd be spending my retirement, luxuriating in the Long Bay Ranch, at Malabar.

Dear o sung wu,

If we are going to become a Sino-Australian nation then we need a symbol to demonstrate this. I think my suggestion of replacing the Union Jack in the canton with a miniature of the red and yellow Peoples Republic of China flag is ideal. It will maintain our image of the southern land while providing for the incorporation of Chinese who will eventually count as the largest ethnic group in Australia within the next few decades. You and everyone else on The Forum needs to stop living in the shadows of the disappearing Anglo-Australian nation and start to embrace your new Chineseness.

A flag emblazoned with the gold rocker, "Welcome to Wonderful Centrelink", would suit the meddling apologists and the millions awaiting a return to Labor+Greens 'Open Borders'.

Oh and in the superior position a sheep being solidly rogered by a wolf would be a nice touch for Labor's Fabians.

Add an emasculated white 'Jack' in the lower far corner. -So apt for the the very vocal Anglophobic dominatrix Jennys, radfembots left over from the previous Millenium.

Dear Is Mise,

You need to research the history of the Hawaiian flag
and what it means to the Hawaiin people. The Union
Jack had a different connotation to them:

Foxy,

You said, "....our current flag signifies our
subordination to Britain...."

Why does the Union Flag on the Flag of Hawaii not symbolize the same thing?
