Ausflag is an organisation that promotes changing the flag of Australia. It was formed in 1981 by Harold Scruby who has since worked to foster debate on the design of the flag.[2] Prominent Australians that have been involved in the direction of Ausflag include Nicholas Whitlam, Phillip Adams, Cathy Freeman, Malcolm Turnbull, Janet Holmes à Court and Nick Greiner. Former chair of the Australian Republican Movement Malcolm Turnbull left the board of Ausflag in 1994 after being asked for his resignation, and in 2004, he joined the Australian National Flag Association.[3]
The group was affiliated with NZFlag, a now defunct trust promoting a redesign of the Flag of New Zealand.
