australian flag debate









































the australian flag debate is a periodic question over whether the australian flag should be changed, particularly to remove the union jack from the canton, but also to possibly introduce a completely new design without the southern cross.









































the debate has often arisen in connection with the issue of republicanism in australia. it has come to a head on a number of occasions, such as the period immediately preceding the australian bicentenary in 1988 and during the prime ministership of paul keating, who had publicly raised the topic of flag change during the early-1990s economic recession.

the 9/11 national remembrance flag was designed by stephan and joanne galvin soon after september 11, 2001. they wanted to do something to help and were inspired by a neighbor's pow/mia flag. they wanted to sell the flag so people would remember the september 11 attacks and in order to raise money for relief efforts. the blue represents the colors of the state flags that were involved in the attacks. the black represents sorrow for innocent lives lost. the four stars stand for the four planes that crashed and the lives lost, both in the crash and in the rescue efforts, as well as the survivors. the blue star is a representation of american airlines flight 77 and the pentagon. the two white stars represent american airlines flight 11 and united airlines flight 175, as well as the twin towers. the red star stands for united flight 93 that crashed in shanksville, pennsylvania and all those who sacrifice their lives to protect the innocent. the colors of the stars represent the american flag. the four stars are touching each other and the blue parts of the flag in order to symbolize the unity of the people of the united states.
