This flag takes tradition and modernity, traditionnal colours (blue, white, red) and popular Australian colours (green and yellow). The Union Jack is conserved, for symbolising the historical link with Britain , eventhough it isn't anymore the case, whether a monarchist regime or a potential republicanist regime. If Australia speaks English, it is because it had been British. Moreover Fiji has kept the Union Jack canton even with the proclamation of the republic. The Commonwealth star has taken Aboriginal colours (a Aboriginal flag inside the star) for highlighting the irremediable link with Aboriginal peoples of Australia and the other communities of the country. Let's recall that the green is one of the main colours of the Torres Strait Islanders, the other Native peoples of Australia.
