Yes as our flag at the moment is out dated and its time to change to show that Australia is up there with the top counties and to really show that we are australian

What do you mean "out of date"? It's a flag. It's not a carton of milk. There's no "best before" date on a flag.

at the moment Australia has 3 flags, the Australian flag, the Aboriginal flag and the Torre straight islander flag, these different flags symbolise that although all of the citizens of the flags live in the same country we are all separate people we are treated differently sometimes worse, this is not right, we should live together as one instead of three

No. But I'm a royalist. I know the Queen and the Governor General don't really do anything other than having symbolic functions; but (as demonstrated during the Gough Whitlam constitutional crisis) they can pull out the heavy guns if they really need to and provide a level of oversight on the office of the Prime Minister. Therefore, I say we keep the monarchy and keep the union jack.

P.S. I've also been out of the country for a while...are we still a constitutional monarchy or are we a republic already? If we're a republic, then fuck it and forget everything I said above.

The Australian Flag symbolises it's heritage and history. It is a brand which is similar to the flags of several other nations and shows that they are part of a wider and greater global community. The Australian flag is one of the few which portrays a past era of wealth and power.

It also has some nice stars on it too.
