Flag Debate

There are many reasons why the Australian Flag should not be changed. One reason is that the flag is well known around the world. It’s well known at the Olympics, Commonwealth games and by the world. We fought under the flag in WWI, WWII. People fought and died under our flag. Having our flag the way it is represents that we were colonized by England. If Captain Cook didn’t find and claim Australia under England we could all be speaking French. The flag is very popular and is on assorted clothing items, such as flip-flops. The ordinary Aussie loves the flag. If we change the flag it could be quite controversial worldwide.

Despite the fact that the Australian flag doesn’t represent all Australians it still represents who colonized us. The English. Despite the fact that the flag may have a bit of a shameful history it is still the flag that we fought under and it also has a good side. Despite the fact that we are now our own country and not ruled by England anymore we should still recognize who the country that claimed us because if the English didn’t the French would have.

I feel that the only way Australia can move on through the modern day is by remembering its origins and this why the flag should not be changed.
