Indeed, as a foreigner, I consider the flag with the Union Jack in it is from the colonial era.
In the bicentennial year 1988 I visited AU and saw proposed yellow-green flags with a Kangaroo and Crux which is more 'Australia' than the current flag. But it did not make it.
The same applies to NZ.
Last year, even the 'real' Aotearoa flag with the Crux stars and the fern leaf did not make it either. It is still almost the same colonial flag as AU with red stars.
