AusFlag has unveiled a new Australian sporting flag, because they believe it′s distinctive and patriotic enough for supporters to use at international events without being confused for a British colony. Ausflag chairman, Robert Webster says Australians need a flag they can wave proudly. Host says she likes Australia′s flag and doesn′t think it should be changed. But Webster says it′s beyond absurd that Australia waves the Union Jack at Commonwealth Games when other colonies have their own unique flags. Host says it′s a controversial and emotional issue. Webster says it′s not an anti-British campaign but a pro-Australian stance. Host says it′s messing with something that′s been around for a very long time. Host asks listeners what they think.

Interview with Harold Scruby, Director, AusFlag about the Australian flag. Scruby agrees that there is a lot of symbolism in the Union Jack, pointing out that it is one of the best flags in the world but it is not Australia′s flag. He says that Canada in 1965 changed its flag from having the Union Jack in the top left corner to probably one of the most beautiful flags in the world. Scruby points out that Canada has not removed its history with this change, and remains a monarchy, as does New Guinea which has its own flag. Scruby says that under vexillology, the study of flags, having the flag of another nation in the top left corner of a flag means domination and subordination. He says that Australia′s flag is wrong when Australia is a grown up independent nation

Conlon and Reilly are joined by David d′Lima, National Secretary, Australian Monarchist League to discuss AusFlag′s suggestion of a new Australian flag to be used at sporting events. D′Lima thinks that it is always good for Australians to think about these matters, because they often take for granted the symbols and signs that Australia does have. D′Lima explains that the Union Jack has a Christian significance, because it is made of Christian crosses. Conlon thinks that this significance has been subsumed under patriotic symbols of England and Scotland. Conlon says that the flag may represent the past for some, but as Malcolm Turnbull points out in an article today in the Financial Review, one quarter of the people under the flag were not born here and very few have a British tradition. D′Lima replies that so many want to come to Australia because of the good things that the country has. [cont“

Interview with Ray Martin, Director, AusFlag. Morice says not-for-profit organisation AusFlag has suggested a new flag for sporting events. Martin says AusFlag wants Australia to grow up in the terms of the flag. He says Fiji is about to remove the Union Jack from their flag so just Australia and NZ and a couple of territories that still use it. Dicko describes the proposed flag which is green gold, navy and a Southern Cross. Martin says we have gone past the boxing kangaroo. Morice says a lot of people enjoy taking the boxing kangaroo to sport. Martin says it is a bit too folksy. He says people get more upset over the flag than the republic. He says they want people to see that the sky will not fall if we replace the flag. He says each state flag has the Union Jack. Dicko says British sporting teams do not use the Union Jack. Martin says the SMH had a supplement about Australia Day with the Australian flag and all you could see was the Union Jack.

Reilly notes that AusFlag has suggested that Australia needs a new sporting flag. She and Conlon are joined by Harold Scruby, Director, AusFlag, to discuss this issue. Scruby describes their suggested flag, noting that it includes the Southern Cross, green and gold. Scruby encourages people to head to their website, where they have a clip of Australia coming second in the rowing in the London Olympics. He says that the Union Jack was raised in the middle, Australia second and New Zealand third, describing it as looking like ′Britain, little Britain and littler Britain′. He comments that the world must be looking at Australia and wondering why they are still clinging to the idea that they are a colony of Britain when they are actually a sovereign independent nation. Reilly thinks that the Australian flag is beautiful and represents all the things that Australia has done, such as the World Wars and the sporting achievements. She says that it would be confusing to see a sporting flag and another flag. Reilly doesn′t want the Australian flag to change. Scruby corrects Reilly on the history of the Australian flag. [cont“

Reilly says that she thinks AusFlag′s proposal of a new Australian flag for sporting events shouldn′t happen. She does point out however that at the Olympics Britain won an event, Australia came second and New Zealand came third, and someone said that it looked like Britain, little Britain and littler Britain, but she thinks that we can look far beyond that. Conlon explains that the proposed flag which includes a form of the current flag as well as a yellow and green stripe. He says that the Australian flag has unfortunately become a symbol of ′boofhead nationalism′, citing the Cronulla riots as a very ugly use of the flag. Reilly doesn′t think that people should be using the flag as duvet covers, pillow cases and beach towels. Conlon suggests that Australia could get rid of the Union Jack, like Canada did when it became a separate nation. Reilly says that only three of the 54 nations in the Commonwealth still have the Union Jack, and Fiji is about to change. Conlon says that Australia Day used to just be a day off, but people are now talking about who we are. Reilly says that she is excited about tomorrow, noting that she doesn′t have any duties as an Australia Day Ambassador but instead she is heading down to the pub at lunchtime with friends to have schnitzel. Conlon jokes that this is un-Australian.

ANU academic Dr John Blaxland has designed a new flag for Australia. He says Australia has the national flag, the Aboriginal flag, the Torres Strait Islander flag plus AusFlag proposed a sporting flag. Dr Blaxland understands the significance of the current flag, which includes the Union Jack. He thinks many people dislike it but wanted to devise a compromise flag. He says the Canadian maple leave is evocative and no Australians have matched it. Dr Blaxland explains his design. He says in WWI, Australians fought under the Union Jack alone. He hopes his flag becomes popular via Facebook and Twitter. Viewers have mixed reviews of the flag.

Australia′s flag is made up of the Union Jack, Southern Cross and Federation Star, this flag represented Australia at the 2012 London Olympic Games but could have a limited future as lobby group AusFlag campaigns for a new Australian flag, with a particular focus on the sporting arena, to distinguish Australia from other nations also featuring the Union Jack. Robert Webster, Chairman, AusFlag says that when Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand finished first, second and third in rowing at the Olympics all three flags depicted the Union Jack, saying people watching in China or the US would not have realised these were different flags. Webster discusses AusFlag′s design for an official sporting flag, which includes the traditional flag and Australia′s national colours. David Flint, Australians for Constitutional Monarchy says we should have one national flag, for sporting and all other purposes, and this should be the flag that flew over Parliament House. Peter Fitzsimons, Journalist and Former Wallabies Player says Australia needs a new flag full stop, commenting that Australian and New Zealand flags waved at the Bledisloe Cup look too similar. Flint says many European countries have similar flags. Webster says people like the boxing kangaroo flag but would never consider it an official representation of Australia.
