  1. I think the NZ flag being include was a deliberate joke lol. The Aboriginal Flag is top tier for me 🖤💛❤️. The other Indigenous flag at the end was the Torres Strait Islander flag. They are the Islands off the top end of Queensland. Many Torres Strait Islander People live and work in Australia, particularly far north Queensland. Bit of info about that flag ~ `The green panels at the top and bottom of the flag represent the land and the central blue panel represents the sea. The black lines dividing the panels represent the Torres Strait Islander people. The centre of the flag shows a white dhari (dancer’s headdress) which represents Torres Strait Islander culture. Underneath the dhari is a white five-pointed star. The star is an important symbol for navigating the sea. The points of the star represent the five island groups in the Torres Strait and the white symbolises peace.` What I love about the Indigenous flags aside from colours, is they represent the earth and sea, showing that connection first nations people have to the land and nature. They belong to the land. Where as the other flags tend to be branded with union jacks, like a stamp of ownership. Bit of information you may not know, all 3 flags (official Australian, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) fly at parliament House. And the Prime minister and his government have them displayed behind them whenever they address the press and public. I agree the state flags are kinda boring and repetitive in design. I like the Norfolk Island flag and Cocos and Keeling islands too. Love the green and gold colours.
