Foxy, what principles in colour and shape in a flag would you design to represent multiculturalism allegiance to?

Hi Josephus,

All I would do is remove the Union Jack.
Leave everything else as is.

Foxy,
Surely you mean the Union Flag?

It always amuses me that it is usually the very people who want to keep old, basically past their use by date, "heritage" buildings, that want to change our flag. The one thousands fought & died under, that we could have our modern Australia.

If you don't like our flag, go somewhere with a flag you like, you don't deserve to inherit the country they died for.

If you add 'F' (6) and 'L' (12), you get an 'R' (18).

Nay, Australia (or any other place for that matter) does not need a rag, old or new.

I used to oppose changing the flag, but after hearing Jerry Seinfeld's criticism of it I would support a change, but only to a good design. The best one I've seen so far is a flag version of the Australian Made logo.

Is Mise,
That is incorrect. The pattern in the corner of our flag is the Union Jack, not the Union Flag.
Indeed the idea that the British Flag should be referred to as the Union Flag rather than the Union Jack is based on a historical misunderstanding, The myth is that a flag is a jack only when it's flown from the jack pole of a ship. But historical evidence shows the terms "jack" and "flag" to be entirely synonymous. And considering the fact that lots of unions have flags but only one of those is the Union Jack, referring to it as the Union Flag is downright stupid!
