Colonies??? Those of us who still suffer under the yoke of a flag that has the Union Jack lording over it in a top corner still live in the colonies.
One of these days we will develop a national spine, like Canada did, & throw off this millstone around our necks, then will have a real flag of our own & we win't be regarded as colonists anymore.

We had a referendum about this a few years back, but Australia fumbled the ball when, in my view, the Prime Minister all but rigged the result & we are still lesser life forms. One day Gadget,.... one day.
