After some research...as to what the current Australian flag represents...
* The Union Jack
The Cross of St George for England
The Cross of St Andrew for Scotland
The Cross of St Patrick for Ireland
To represent our early settlers....
The Blue ...surrounding ocean
The Southern Cross - our geographical location as a star constellation.
The Seven Point star of Federation
six points of the star of The Commonwealth represent the six States...
The seventh = Northern Territory and the six external territories of Australia.

HEAVY MAN!
I had a brief idea about what The Australian Flag intended to represent and never really agreed with it! But many people do, they love the Flag and for some patriotic absurd reason defend and standby its meaning. ?
The symbolism is dated.. and most offensively without any honor of The Aboriginal Ancestors who lived here and thankfully still do, before any white colony ..... !
All this makes the idea of- challenging what The Australian flag is or could be or should be a little more interesting.....If the Show was to go ahead into production how many people and politicians
would be offended not rewarded by the piece ?
