This petition represents an online headcount gauging public support for the Progress & Unity Flag (view the flag & proposal here).

We (the creator of this proposal & those supporting it) are not asking for any change to the Australian National Flag right now.

Rather, if or when the Australian people decide to vote on our next national flag, whatever the reason, then we believe this is the design which best captures these four fundamental intentions: 

• To symbolise Progress & Unity.
• To honour our Past, Present, & Future.
• To represent all Australians.
• And stir feelings of pride in our Great Southern Land & mateship among its people.

Whether or not Australia should change its national flag should be an entirely separate matter.

Yes, we of course owe it to ourselves to always strive to be better & do better.

However, all to often, Australian national flag proposals are divisive because they seek to erase history, introduce political bias, or fundamentally misrepresent what it means to be Australian.

The creation of the Progress & Unity Flag was, in part, a response to the shortcomings of other proposals and was designed to stand on its own merit without caring if a vote on our national flag is or is not being currently supported.

Ultimately, the Progress & Unity Flag answers the question:
"If a vote was held, whatever the reason, what would our national flag look like if we took what works about our current national symbols to make the flag even better?".

If you have seen the proposal in full & have read this far, we thank you for considering this national flag design. We hope the proposal, in all its passion & love for this great country, has been genuine enough to secure your name in support.

Enjoy the rest of your day & happy internet browsing!

Kind regards,
