Mann says today is Australian National Flag Day and introduces Robert Webster, Chairman of Ausflag. Webster thinks Australia needs a new flag, saying Australia is one of the few commonwealth countries left that has the union jack. Webster says the Australian flag is very similar to the New Zealand flag. Webster says the union jack should be removed from the Australian flag. Caller Bob says the Aboriginal flag should be the national flag and Webster says this might be contentious but agrees it is a great flag. Caitlin says he does not see the point in changing the flag.
