A HIGH-powered alliance of top Australians has unveiled a new national sporting flag and plans to use it to gatecrash major sporting events.
The new flag is pitched at sporting events only, but the group hopes to use it to help change attitudes and eventually knock the Union Jack off the official flag with another design.

If they change the flag I will not stop flying the one I consider the Australian Flag.
God whoever they have coming up with these ideas must be a 4 year old with a box of crayons. But sad as it is, they're still better than that pathetic rubbish banana flag they tried to force on us years ago.
The flag as it is works for me.
"Oh but it looks like so and sos flag and it symbolises still being under the monarchy."
It's Australias flag. We were built under a monarchy. I don't like the roylas one bit, but I don't think poking my head in the sand and yelling "Never happened never happened lalalalalala" will change that. Nor should we ignore it.
If they get away with this, the real Flag will still be raised. This bubblegum sticker garbage should be shhshed..

Agreed.......I like the flag the way it is.
It is quintessential Australia, imo.
