New Aussie Flag

Ray Martin, all round good guy, cricket tragic, South Sydney supporter (*cough*) and walking toupee earlier this week was on the wireless suggesting it's time to reignite the debate over the Australian Flag.
Personally I like the one we've got (above), but here are some of the suggested new looks:
Thoughts?
Your own ideas?
Merls?

F*cking awful. The lot of them.
Still, if you're going to take the British flag off the current one....

Repeating my design -
A predominant yellow and green background (Oz sporting colours) - bannana republic kinda colours as well but what the hell ... divided into four quarters ... each depicting relevant events in Australian history.
Top left corner - Chains, handcuffs and anklets to depict Aussie origins.
Top right corner - Warne and Hawaii in embrace with Aboriginals - depicting the Aussie addiction to Sport and the Past.
Bottom left corner - A picture of Alice Rock ... depicting isolation, insignificance and total irrelevance.
Bottom right corner - the changing picture of the incumbent President of Australia, depicting the new face of Oz ....when, soon hopefully, you guys sign-off from the UK permanantly.

Can't just knock 'em up on PhotoShop for us, can you Merls? I'm a bit of a visual person.

Well, for starters, what country has a f*cking animal on their flag? Sesame Street?
Three or four of them look like Stalin spunked all over the SU flag and they're the mess the clean-up made.
Two look they been drawn by Johnny #5.
The rest look like they've been sent in by Dean Jones who's bored because he can only makes racial insults at his own TV.

I like the 2nd row down, 3rd from left .... Southern Cross on a blue background ... but would have the Red strip going top to bottom to the left (not horizontal at bottom).

Wonder what this one's about?
Is this the fist in the SA face that Merls was referring to?

And a little sad that we'd have to write our name on our own flag.

This, is a symbol of Australia everyone knows. Even should Australia become a republic I don't see why you would change it, it reflects your beginnings as a nation. You've got to be pretty insecure as a country if you still feel under 'empirical yolk' just because of a jack in the corner.
Hawaii is a US state and keeps theirs
