It is similar to Australia's flag but those who need to know, or care to know, can easily tell the difference.
The real issue for me is the huge amount of money being spent on the two referendums.
The Government has agreed to spend $26 million on the process to decide if the flag will change. Then there's the cost of rebranding everything with a new design.
That is an incredible amount of money to spend on something that is fairly inconsequential in the scheme of things.
Kids are going to school hungry, families are struggling to find affordable housing, our roads are getting more and more congested, our hospitals struggle to keep up with demand and refugees are being refused entry to our country.
Surely the money could be better spent elsewhere.
A new flag will not affect the quality of any one's lives.
The order of the two questions that will be asked in the two referendums is also contentious. To me it seems obvious the Government is doing all it can to encourage change.
I believe the order of the questions will make a significant difference to the outcome of the two binding referendums.
Financially, and logically, it would make more sense to ask people if they want change first. If the answer is no the discussion goes no further.
By asking people which of four alternate designs they prefer before asking whether they want a new flag, people are being forced to consider change and what our flag could look like.
It is a clever way of getting people to warm to the idea of a new flag, albeit an expensive way.
