Okay, so these 3 countries are probably the 3 big 'new lands' the Brittish colonised. Which do you think has the best relationship with Britain? Canada and Australia are Commonwealth members, but the US seems to have a great relationship with the Brittish.
Ill never get sick of the Australia vs. Great Britain vs. New Zealand rivalry . I have absolutely no idea what Canada's relationship with GB is like but they're lucky they got to change their flag. I'd love for the Aussie one to be changed.

Really? Why would you want the Aussie flag changed? I like our loyalty to Britain(with the Union Jack), and I hope we stay in the Commonwealth. If I remember correctly, they were discussing leaving the Commonwealth a few years back. But it never went ahead.

That's true. Ever since WW2(you could say WW1), they have fought in each war together. America kind of drags them into it though, especially the ones against the Soviet Union(Communists).

That didn't go off without a hitch.
That took six months of debate in the House of Commons and the only reason it ended sooner rather than later was because the government invoked cloture on the debate. You'll still find people to this day who hate the Maple Leaf and would rather fly the Red Ensign.
Personally, I love the Maple Leaf and am glad we ditched the Red Ensign ages ago. Yes, we have a history with the Commonwealth, but it was time for Canada to start forming its own identity and it's a bit hard to do so when your flag (the Red Ensign) is defaced with the Union Jack.
[EDIT] Just for some nostalgia from February 15, 1965...

Haven't we talked about this in like 3-4 separate topics over the past 6 months? I recall some British guy creating most of those threads suggesting his own invasion plans the commonwealth to retake the empire.

We still carry the Union Jack so........us I guess. I know people have said we should change our flag, but there's no need to fix what isn't broken IMO.

You hit the nail right on the head. Nothing is wrong with the current flag. TBH, with a boxing kangaroo(suggestion of a future flag by many), it would look could of sloppy in my opinion.

That's true, but for the most part we still have a solid relationship with Great Britain.
Anyway perhaps this is a bit irrelevent, but while the Olympics were on I thought it was cool how they said us along with Great Britain, Greece and Denmark are the only 4 nations to have competed at every modern Olympics. In essence the London games felt like an extension of home to me.

You gotta admit, having a flag like this would be pretty cool.

Forget it! I said the same thing back in primary school and got knocked back.
That is EXACTLY what I would like. I even made this topic a while back as a suggestion to have (along with the original Aussie flag) a boxing kangaroo option for a flag on GTAF.

Well no. Not really.
At least not anyone who is being serious, isn't drunk, completely bogan or in any position of power.
The only alteration I can see happening within our lifetimes is a straight swap of the Union Jack with the Aboriginal flag. And that's only because Liberal White Guilt is more powerful than the Republicans right here and now.

Australia's head is the Queen too.
