AU Flag

AUflag.au primary purpose is to help effect a change in the Australian National Flag ie by the removal of the UK Union Jack in the canton; the rest of the flag as is, excepting with a sky blue background.

The UK Union Jack Flag has a magnificent design BUT it is the national flag of another country and we would be better served with a flag design more indicative of our identity and pride in our independent nation.

COMING SOON – in this website, you will find editorials on the issues involved; the legal and other constraints to effect such a change; the history of the current flag; the design elements of the proposed AU Flags; the use of flags in general; and other related matters.
