Australia's New Flag

Many Australians feel that the embedded Blue Ensign in the their flag is obsolete now.

Harold Scruby established Ausflag in 1981 to support the idea of a new Australian flag.

Australia's national anthem has already been changed from "God Save The Queen" to "Advance Australia Fair" in 1984.

The Ausflag site states that their objective is:

The adoption of a truly Australian flag, a flag which clearly and unequivocally proclaims our identity to other nations, a flag which is internationally recognisable and not confusing to other nations, and a flag which unites the Australian nation in all its diversity.

Ausflag has received more that 50,000 designs. One of the winning designs has been:

1993 Design Competition: 1st Place
