The St. George's flag, a red cross on a white field, was adopted by England and the City of London in 1190 for their ships entering the Mediterranean to benefit from the protection of the Genoese fleet. The English Monarch paid an annual tribute to the Doge of Genoa for this privilege.

Part of our flag is Genoese - not that there is anything wrong with that - but as times have changed - so have our flags

This was our WWI flag the ANZACS fought under

This was our 1918 Honour Flag

The Commonwealth Blue Ensign was selected a a result of a public competition (over 30 000 designs were submitted); although selected in 1901 and gazetted in 1903, it was not given Royal assent and adopted as the definitive Australian flag until 1954 in the Flags Act 1953 (Act No. 1 of 1954)!

Could it not be that a more Nationalistic approach in our country to make everyone proud to be here (if not send them back)
They don't even teach Australia history in many schools, who can name our major figures that helped build and promote Australia through their dedication

It is not the flag the song or anything else it is the people who do not care when they should be
