New Australian flag proposed

A new national flag has been proposed in Australia that would incorporate the Union flag and the Aboriginal (土著的) flag amid a new push to "move on" from the country's British heritage, The Daily Telegraph of London reported. Dr John Blaxland, a military historian from the Australian National University, designed the flag, saying he hoped to capture all aspects of the country's history, including its Aboriginal heritage, its colonial past and multiculturalism. The proposal for a new flag comes amid a renewed push for a republic led by Wayne Swan, the deputy prime minister of Australia.

據英國《每日電訊報》報道，在澳大利亞副總理韋恩·斯萬的呼吁下，近日該國再次掀起更換國旗以削弱英國傳統(tǒng)影響的倡議運動。

一個融合英聯邦國旗與澳洲土著旗幟元素的新國旗方案應運而生。這面新國旗由澳大利亞國立大學軍事史學家約翰·布萊克斯蘭博士設計。他表示，希望在國旗里囊括澳大利亞歷史的各個方面，包括其土著元素、殖民歷史及多元文化。
