"FLAG OF INCLUSION"


   We keep the Southern Cross from the old flag but it becomes very large and
   is centred as the only major object on the flag.  The flag has the base field
   of green.  This is one of our national colours.  The Southern Cross is made
   from yellow stars.  Thus we have our national colours showing prominently.

       [My preference is for a base field of deep blue to symbolise our 
        island-continent nation surrounded by water.  Perhaps a blue-green
        is the go?] 

   Then inside the Southern Cross are four rectangles in a square pattern - 
   that is, two over two.

   1.  The bottom left square is the blue flag of the Eureka Stockade and 
       symbolizes our freedom.

   2.  The bottom right square is light grey and in it's centre is a small 
       "Union Jack" - much reduced - which symbolizes a diminishing attachment
       to the mother's apron - a "maturity".

   3.  The top left square is the Aboriginal flag - it is a symbol of the 
       Indigenous nations - and our struggle to live together.  It is also a 
       symbol of the roots of the land.

   4.  Lastly, the top right square is pale green and in the centre is a single,
       yellow straw of wheat crossing a dark, mechanical cog.  These symbolize 
       the role of farming and our inventiveness.


   And that's the complete flag.  This flag is very unique and can be identified 
   easily from quite a distance - and would be distinguished from (all?) other
   flags.


   I hope you see why it is a "FLAG OF INCLUSION", and not a flag of division.
