Title: Australian Flags
Medium: book
Edition (publisher: place): Ausinfo (Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. Awards and National Symbols Branch): Canberra (Australia)
Language: English
Edition date: 2006 (3rd ed.)
Previous edition: [ozf98]
Catalogue codes: ISBN 0-642-47134-7 = ISBN 978-0-642-47134-5
2005/0138
Pages: 56 (+ covers)

Remarks: 23-page excerpt available on line as a PDF document.

It is described as Copyright Commonwealth of Australia 2006. There is no author identified, with the issuance being attributed to Awards and Culture Branch, Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet in Canberra. The booklet is not available for sale. The identified way of obtaining a free copy is through the Constituent’s Request Programme by contacting a Senator or Member of the House of Representatives.

The booklet is the same physical size as the two previous editions, [ozf95] and [ozf98], but it has been substantially redesigned — new layout, new illustrations and the order in which the material has been presented has been changed. However, the text is about 95% the same as the previous edition. The new layout results in the booklet now being 56 pages plus covers (down from 72 pages).

It is curious that, in preparing the new edition, the three flag organisations in Australia were not consulted by the Government or the design firm involved — Swell Design Group. The Flag Society of Australia, Ausflag and ANFA were actively involved in the preparation of the first edition in 1995 [ozf95], but acknowledgement of their contribution has been removed from this third edition. John Vaughan (who is the national spokesman of ANFA) has been personally acknowledged in the third edition, though he advised a Flags Australia meeting that his involvement was limited to providing some artwork and suggestions, without seeing the proofs.

In reviewing the changes, it is evident that there has been a shift in the book away from any political element other than the limited focus of the ANFA sanctioned view of Australian flag history and usage. All the material in the first and second editions has been carried over, except for:

  • page 4 — A new flag? — two paragraphs on the advocacy of a new flag by some Australians
  • page 11 — Debate begins — reference to criticism of winning designs in the 1901 competition
  • pages 12-13 — The Australian Flag in Wartime
  • page 14 — Australian flag at the Olympics
Additions to the 3rd edition include:
  • new page 25 — order of precedence of flags in Australia
  • new pages 26-27 — The Centenary Flag
  • new page 36 — Illustration of the cover of the 1901 Review of Reviews
  • new page 33 — Cocos (Keeling) Island flag
  • new page 42 — section on Protection of the Flag, which adds to material inserted in the second edition about the 1998 amendments to the Flags Act, the statement:
    In the event that a poll is required the existing design of the Australian National Flag must be one of the designs in any selection put to the people

Overall the very slight level of “balance” in the previous editions (in respect of the Australian debate on changing the flag) has been completely removed.

Disappointingly, the gross errors about the state flags continue to remain unchanged. When the 1995 edition was published I, on behalf of the Flag Society of Australia, made extensive changes to the draft text to correct these pages — but the then staff of Awards and Symbols said they could not change the material about the State flags without the concurrence of the State protocol offices — and each had refused to even consider the possibility that their state publications were in error.

The quality of the illustrations is generally much better than before, but the individual flags remain relatively small — 18×36 mm. The quality of the illustrations is variable — with some shockers (like the Queen’s Personal Flag for Australia) and some others of high quality (Pre 1936 Governor General’s Flag). Is suspect that the design house has used a “cut and paste” approach to the flag illustrations (with or without consent as to reproduction). There is no illustrator identified and the original source of the drawn artwork has not been identified.

Ralph Kelly, 27 Sep 2006

It is utterly ludicrous that the book is not available for sale and moreover that the means of distribution appears to be so restrictive. The first edition [ozf95] was on sale at the former Government Info shop in Civic, Canberra and the second edition [ozf98] was sold all over the world on the internet.
