We have the release of the Republican flag.

Paul,
According to the link I gave from Wikipedia which anyone can access on the web. Anyone except Is Mise it seems. Perhaps he can't Google? Poor thing. All MPs take an Oath of Allegiance to the crown. As does the Governor-General in his/her Oath of Office. The Armed Forces do the same. Australian Citizenship is the only thing that has changed over time. Australian nationality was created by the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948. In 1994 the Keating Government removed the reference to the crown. There have been no changes since.

The proposed flag what does the Black represent? A night sky? the colour of skin? a dark place? Depression? The Yellow I assume represents the moon, a dim reflection which we have reached in our lifetime. The Brown, red I assume means the red earth of the Centre of Australia on which we live. It is not inspirational or aspirational of higher things. At least green and yellow could have represented prosperity and growth and international achievement.

Josephus,
Thanks for the link. I've seen better and more appropriate designs. When the time comes - I'm sure there will be better choices presented. This one isn't it. Posted by Foxy, Saturday, 29 January 2022 5:19:31 PM

Still working on a serious reply I see.
You might look up the tell us all which referendum changed the Oath (Affirmation) of Allegiance.
If it was not changed then those MPs who have not taken it were not entitled to sit in Parliament and having received various monies from the public purse are obliged to return them.
