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.
