I recon our current flag is great, if we become a republic then the whole thing must go or atlesat the union jack.
In my opinion the union jack and the stars and stripes flag of UK and the US are... noisy, lacks "white space".
Our flag has recognition to the UK, has the southern cross which is a bloody big deal, it is not just a random collection of stars. finaly it has the seven pointed star which represents the seven states of Australia under the unionjack. (there is 8 but the ACT dosent really count much)

So the australian flag actually means more symoblicly then the UK or US flag. Between them the only symbolic thing about them is the number of stars on the US flag represents the number of states.
