Australian National Flag Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Australian National Flag Association is a lobby group founded on 10 May 1983 in response to suggestions that the current Australian flag is not appropriately representative of the nation, and should be changed. The association aims to increase awareness of the history and significance of the current national flag. It arranges ceremonies and celebrations each year on 3 September (which has been officially proclaimed as 'Australian National Flag Day' to "commemorate the day in 1901 on which the Australian national flag was first flown").

On the 3rd of September, 2001 the ANFA presented the Centenary Flag, an Australian national flag inscribed with a centenary message, to the Prime Minister, John Howard. The warrant for flying this flag was then issued on September 20th, 2001 in Commonwealth Gazette Number S382.
