i simply will not stand for a flag that incorporates australia's aboriginal history nor its multicultural makeup

that flag literally looks like a charicatured black person high on PCP and trying to eat the sky

i dont mind that it incorporates some aboriginal themes, i actually embrace that. But i hate the design, they could do better

 

[BLIT2014]

the white bit between the red boomerang doesn't go at all..

Very poor design overall, too complicated too

 

[townie]

I've always liked this one

 

[funkshen]

that is a terrible flag

that is a terrible flag

Our current one is pretty terrible. The union jack just looks like it was thrown in there at the last minute.

Why bother changing the flag and distancing ourselves from Britain when we aren't even a republic yet?

 

[enoilgam]

I actually dont mind the Eureka flag - it's simple but it looks good. However, it has been tainted a bit due to it's use by some nationalist groups.

no, the australian flag is a defaced british blue ensign, and is therefore the opposite of thrown in there at the last minute.

No. It looks terrible! But if it were prettier I wouldn't mind. Not that many flags are that pretty anyways.

that looks like something a kid in year 3 came up with! it looks like a gollywogs mouth and lips about to suck on something

I dont like this flag, and I dont like the idea that we have to include aboriginal elements just so we dont offend aboriginals. Whats done is fucking done, aboriginals had their land invaded, there have been countless apologies and attempts at compensation, it is honestly a bit stupid to continually do these kinds of things. No need to elevate aboriginal culture above ours, as everyone says, we should all be treated equally. Why should aboriginal culture be honoured over ours?

So that was set, and the rest of the flag was thrown around it. Either way, the two aren't the greatest of friends.

We are still a part of the Commonwealth and until we aren't we should leave the flag as it is.

yes because incorporating elements that recognise australia's traditional landowners is elevating aboriginal culture above ours

Now that is a nice looking flag.

 

[funkshen]

any new australian flag must incorporate the star of david to recognise the contributions of australian jews

I don't like Canada.

They only did it to be more like USA.
