The Australian National Flag identifies a free and democratic
people in a nation united in purpose. National Flag belongs equally
to all Australians whatever their origins. Each symbol on the flag
has a special meaning for Australians. The stars of the Southern Cross
represent geographical position in the Southern Hemisphere, the Commonwealth
Star symbolizes federation of States and Territories, and the Crosses
stand for the principles on which nation is based - namely, Parliamentary
Democracy, Rule of the Law and Freedom of Speech. It is the right
and privilege of every Australian to fly the Australian National Flag.
