Time to change 'colonial' Australian flag - Ray Martin <!-- google_ad_section_end(name=story_headline) -->
AUSTRALIA should get a new flag that ditches the Union Jack, according to TV presenter Ray Martin. <!-- google_ad_section_end(name=story_introduction) --><!-- // .story-intro --><!-- google_ad_section_start(name=story_body, weight=high) -->
Martin said yesterday he would lead a campaign to replace the existing "colonial" flag.
"I object to having the British flag in the corner of our flag," he said.
"We have well and truly reached the point where we should have our own flag. I think we have to grow up and move on to the next stage,"
Since world economy would be highly dependent on China economy in this century, it's about time to lean to the Chinese and replace the Union Jack, suggest one of the PR PRC Chinese in Australia.
