Seven Golden Stars is the name for a new green and gold flag for Australia.
…
This flag includes the Southern Cross and the Federation Star (also known as the Commonwealth Star) from the Australian National Flag.
The gold disc in the canton is derived from the Aboriginal Flag and represents the sun.
The flag’s colours are the same as Australia’s national colours, green and gold.
The sun is, of course, also a star. Hence the name ‘Seven Golden Stars’.
The following diagram shows the design of the new flag.

…
The ratio of the green field is a conventional 2:3 and the flag ratio when you include the white stripe on the left is 9:14. Note that the Australian National Flag, the Australian Blue Ensign, has a ratio of 1:2 and the Aboriginal Flag has a ratio of 2:3. In the Australian National Flag the Union Flag takes up one quarter of the flag area, while on the green field of these proposed new designs the Aboriginal Flag would take up one ninth of the area of the green field.
The flag design is symmetrical. The Commonwealth Star is equidistant from the right and top edges of the flag. The stars Becrux, Delta Crucis and the Commonwealth Star are aligned, with Delta Crucis being at the midpoint between the centres of Becrux and the Commonwealth Star. The vertical axis for the Southern Cross is one third of the length of the green field of the flag from the left edge (not including the white stripe). Delta Crucis is at the midpoint along the total length of the flag including the white stripe on the left. The centre of the sun in the canton forms a right angle with the centres of Becrux and Gacrux.
…
There are also a couple of versions of this new green and gold flag that are charged with the Australian Coat of Arms. The Coat of Arms has a kangaroo and an emu as supporters, a scroll and a couple of branches of wattle in bloom. The shield contains a badge for each of the six states (this part of the flag is clearly greyed out because these flags are not yet authorised by the Commonwealth). One of these flags has a stylised version of the Commonwealth Star and torse so that the Commonwealth Star is also visually prominent on this flag.
The designs below have been modified so that it is clear that the images do NOT contain the official Coat of Arms for Australia.

The design of a national flag necessarily contains symbols that have a relevance to the people of that nation. A national flag needs the acceptance of the vast majority of that nation’s population. Recent changes to the Flags Act require that a national plebiscite is needed to change the national flag. This is quite a separate issue to the republic and a proposed alternative national flag will need to win a national plebiscite on its own merits. At present the Australian public is happy with the current Australian Flag as it is and there are no other well known alternatives.

our country in the last 50 years has many of national new commers all came to start
a new life with ther birth land left behind them.
to form a new unity we must have a flag that give a sighn of togethernes and being proud of our new land.
Thanks for your comment E.A.Anders,
I hope that these flag designs are seen as unifying and inclusive. They are in the national colours of green and gold and many of the symbols are well known. I see the Australian Coat of Arms as a symbol for our liberal democracy and a civic nationalism that we can be proud of.
