An Australian man has sparked debate by presenting five alternative national flags - including a 'Reconciliation flag' and a 'Sunburnt flag'. Jack Toohey posted a video to his TikTok account on Thursday showing viewers five designs that have been created as substitutes to the current Australian flag. In the footage he displays the flags, who they were designed by and when, and explains the meaning behind their names and the features of the flag. While some of Toohey's fans liked the alternate choices others were unwilling to look beyond the current flag, which features the Union Jack, the Commonwealth Star and the Southern Cross. Jack Toohey has posted a TikTok showing five alternate designs to the current Australian flag, leaving the internet divided. Poll Which is your favourite Australian flag design?

It keeps the right hand side of the current flag the same with the Southern Cross on a blue background. However Blaxland includes a seven pointed Commonwealth Star filled in with dots representing the 150 Indigenous and migrant languages spoken in Australia. He has also included a boomerang, designed as a fragment of the Union Jack, keeping Australia's colonisation history within the flag. The next flag, titled 'Down Under', was designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser in 1986. It displays a red semi-circle on top of a blue background and a seven pointed star said to represent Uluru upside down. It plays on the idea of Australia being the country 'Down Under'. The Reconciliation Flag (left) brings Australia's Indigenous history into the flag while the Down Under design (right) plays on the idea of Australia being the country 'below' The 'Untitled Flag' designed by John Joseph in 2006 is mentioned in the video and replaces the original Union Jack with an Indigenous dot painting. There has been controversy around this particular design in recent years as the artist is not Indigenous. A fan-favourite was 'The Sunburnt Flag' designed by Stephen Berry in 1998. This design calls upon the idea of Australia being the 'sunburnt country', a term coined by Dorothea Mackellar in her poem 'My Country' in 1990. The sunrise in the design is evocative of the Aboriginal flag, bringing the two together while also leaving elements of the current Australian flag such as the blue sky and the Southern Cross, cleverly mixing the two together. John Joseph's flag (left) has raised concern due to the designer not being of Indigenous background while using Indigenous artwork. The Sunburnt Flag (right) hints to the poetry of Dorothea Mackellar showing the sun rising over our sunburnt country The final design shown in the video is that of 'The Golden Wattle' designed in 2015 by Jeremy Matthews. This design incorporates features that are already representative of Australia. The golden wattle is the national flower of Australia and it is designed with the classic green and gold colouring that the nation's sporting teams wear when representing the country. The design of 'The Golden Wattle' also makes up the Commonwealth Star in the middle. The seven pointed star represents each state and territory in Australia. Mr Toohey stated at the end of his video that he thinks young Indigenous Australians should be given the opportunity to design options for a new Australian flag. The Golden Wattle Flag (left) includes Australia's national flower and the green and gold colours sportspeople wear when representing our country. The design also makes up the Commonwealth Star (right), representing each of the states and territories of Australia Australia's current flag includes three main symbols on the iconic blue background; the Union Jack, the Commonwealth Star and the Southern Cross. The Union Jack represents British settlement that colonised Australia, the Commonwealth Star represents the states and territories and the Southern Cross is a constellation that can only be seen from the southern hemisphere, a reminder of Australia's geography. While symbolic to Australia's history, there has been long-standing controversy about the lack of Indigenous Australian history shown on our national flag. The current Australian national flag (pictured),while symbolic, does not include the history Indigenous Australians which has caused controversy around changing the flag design The fight to change the flag has been led by Ausflag, an apolitical, non-profit organisation established in 1981 by Harold Scruby. Ausflag's objective is to secure the support of the Australian people for the adoption of an Australian flag, anthem and colours that unite the Australian nation. Flags Australia is another not-for-profit organisation that shares design options for new alternate Australian flags. There were some who disagreed, lamenting that the flag should stay the same. 'I like the rising sun but see no reason to change the flag,' said one. 'We can't change history, we learn from it. So there's no point in changing the flag,' wrote another. One commenter completely dismissed the notion, writing: 'Here's an idea, just leave it the way it is because it doesn't matter.' However, many viewers of Mr Toohey's video have mirrored the sentiment that it is time for a change to include all Australians in our flag. 'Yes! These designs are so much better than what we've currently got,' wrote one viewer. 'The first one is really nice. It's modern, inclusive and even at a glance it's recognisable. We're overdue for an update,' said another. 'I think our flag should incorporate both (Indigenous and colonisation) to reflect that (Australian history),' commented another.
