Hopefully this will happen soon... It's ridiculous that two prosperous sovereign nations have the colonial union jack on their flag as if this was the 18th century!

Notice how on the 21st century the union jack is mostly used in flags that represent small UK territories spread out across the oceans (what is left of the British empire)!

The only four nations that have the UK union jack on their flag are Australia, NZ, Fiji and Tuvalu

Proposed flag for Tuvalu


Proposed flag for Fiji


New Zealand continues with the debate


While Australia is far behind everyone else, attaching itself to the colonial legacy of 200 years ago.
However they have some very cool designs proposed
One of the favorites


A particular favorite of mine


A cool flag depicting Australia's aboriginal heritage

As corny as it can appear, I still very much like the Boxing Kangaroo (reminds me of the America's Cup in 1983):

You should stick to the Sports forums, instead of promoting British imperialism here.
