Title: Australian Flags
Medium: book
Secondary author(s): Tiffanie Brown (ill.)
Language: English
Edition (publisher: place): Awards and Culture Branch, Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, Department of Administrative Services: Canberra (Australia)
Edition date: 2006 (3rd ed.)
Previous edition: [ozf98]
Catalogue codes: ISBN 0-642-47134-7 = ISBN 978-0-642-47134-5 (see WorldCat entry)
2005/0138
Pages: 56 (+ covers)
Format: 296×300 (ratio)
Remarks: 23-page excerpt available on
line as a PDF document.
Reviewed in [kly06]
A major revision of [ozf98] with different
artwork and text revised to promote the conservative pro-flag
agenda of ANFA (the Australian National
Flag Association), which was the only entity consulted. The text
has a copyright notice and directs enquiries to: Awards and Culture
Branch, Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. The revisions
are credited to «the team at Swell Design Group for their
design of this third edition and to Tiffanie Brown for the
illustrations.»
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.

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.
