The Current Australian flag is in need of a change because it leaves certain elements out that are crucial to the Australian Identity.
The current flag represents a blue ocean which symbolises Australia as an island. The first component is the Union Jack, illustrating the link with Britain being our mother land. The second aspect is the Southern Cross, representing Australia because the constellation can only be seen from the southern hemisphere and is a reminder of Australia’s geography. The Commonwealth Star represents Australia's federal in 1901.
The Australian flag has become outdated because it is missing important elements that represent both Aboriginals and Australian people. The flag should represent more accurate representation of Australia’s people, culture and land. The proposed design for the new flag includes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flags, Southern Cross, Union Jack and a kangaroo which have been incorporated because I believe it represents the modern day Australian Identity and the traditional custodians of our land.
Firstly, the Aboriginal flag has been included into the new design because it symbolises unity and national identity for the Aboriginal people and giving them land rights. Aboriginal people are a huge part of Australia’s culture because they are the original people of the land and have been here since ancient time. The colours on the Aboriginal flag red, black and yellow represent
Aboriginal people of Australia (black)
The red earth, the red ochre and a spiritual relation to the land (red)
The sun, the giver of life and protector (yellow).
Secondly, Torres Strait Islanders come from the islands of the Torres Strait that separates the Australian mainland at Cape York from Papua New Guinea. Torres Straits are one of Australia’s Aboriginals. The Torres Strait become part of Queensland by parliament in 1879. The traditional people of Torres Strait are of Melanesian origin and have occupied the islands for many thousands of
