The Commonwealth Star represents the union of the former colonies as a new addition to the old constellation of the Southern Cross, and therefore is very important, especially to those (such as myself) who uphold the true meaning of the Commonwealth and the Crowned Republic of Australia.

Yes, I know it, but I think having the Commonwealth Star both isolated and in Southern Cross is a bit unnecessary.

It is very necessary, the Commonwealth Star is the symbol of the Nation as a new unity; it would be like me saying that the Brazilian flag doesn't need the banner "Ordem e Progresso" because that isn't actually in the night sky... Also the stars of the Southern Cross are not the Commonwealth Star, they are only seven pointed to avoid confusion with the Victorian State Flag.

Actually, there's a long campaign to remove the "Ordem e Progresso", since the very first day it was added, and there are law projects related to it circulating in the Parliament even on our days; same about night sky. I just don't like duplicated symbolism, sorry.

Aye I guess, but in the case of the Australian Flag there is no 'duplication' as they are totally seperate
