The flag of the UK is The Union Flag. It is only known as The Union Jack when flown from a Royal Navy vessel.

Can't happen, the Aboriginal Flag is copyrighted and owned by someone.

Don't care much myself but there is no pressure, that I am aware of, to change the flag. Previous attempts such as that competition in 1988 to produce a new design for the flag went quietly into the night.

I think there is more pressure to change the anthem than the flag and there is little pressure there either.

Shame, it's a nice colour.
I'm not interested in flags at all, or anthems.
But Bruce of The Seekers wrote a song that some would like to be the anthem.

Certainly my choice with some reworking of the words, but again owned by someone.
