Golden Wattle Flag

[Kul]

I got mine today! It's beautiful!

Full disclosure, I'm an indifferent monarchist and love our current flag, but this design is stunning and so well thought out, something that isn't tacky and can be embraced by all.

Great Idea and colour scheme. I just don't like the actual design. Think they could have done a better job with it. Maybe it will go on me.
Even if the circles were a bit closer foaming an actual star.
I guess they haven't got the WTs jumpers right after all these years. The simpler the better.

I'm with Tigerdon. I like the concept but the design isn't quite right.

 

[innsaneink]

Very clever, not bad

I really like it and if our flag was to change I'd be happy with that one. Better than any I've seen so far. But if it's this hard to get gays to have the right to marry , how hard is it going to be change the flag. I don't think I will see it in my lifetime.

Brilliant…. :sign:

I love it

I'm admittedly a republican, I quite like that.

I like the symbolism.

 

[Tigerdon]

Visually I like the Canadian flag best. This is a step in that direction.

Interesting concept.

Needs a plebiscite..It's a NO from me..

 

[stryker]

Future states?

Is the flag design constitutionally protected? If so you'll need a referendum.

Future states?

Might be one less with the way the WA Libs are prattling on.

It's nicely differentiated from all the other stuff I've seen with Kangaroos and stripes and colours. I'd be happy enough.

Agree, the simpler the better. I've seen some really convoluted designs.

K.I.S.S

Surely they mean ACT not territories and other states!

NT, Jervis Bay Territory, overseas territories?

 

[Kul]

_The Commonwealth Star – National Federation
The large seven pointed star is the emblem of Australian Federation. Six points represent the states and the seventh all the federal territories which together constitute the nation, the Commonwealth of Australia._

At the time, this also included Papua

And no, the flag is not defined in the constitution, so it does not require a referendum to be changed.

Well done, I totally missed NT wasn't there! No need to lump ACT and NT with "future states" though. They bring a lot more income and cultural significance than something that may or may not be perceived in the future.

In terms of the flag, I like the idea of the wattle and green and gold are more in line with people's perception of Australia.

Personal opinion is no point discussing changing the flag or becoming a republic if we aren't getting rid of the political process that has seen our prime ministership being the revolving door that it is!
