With the recent debacle over the flag in NZ, it's pretty obvious that the current Aus/NZ designs are still acceptable to the majority.
However, I'd like to suggest a variant - just replace the Union jack on the current Ozzie flag with the Eureka flag.

(Interesting comment: The organisation has not consistently supported one design but is opposed to the Eureka Flag - no reason given???) |
Seems we had this debate and the idea got dumped along with the equally dopey republic idea which people keep banging on about. Now, the Kiwi's have done the same. Why do we have to trash our history and why cant people accept that our flag is our flag, full stop?
The day I swear allegiance to or salute anything other than the current flag will be the same the day Pluto has a heat wave and that's about as likely as me voting for an Australian "President"... talk about severe disturbance in "The Force"
