The Australian flag has the Union Jack which is the British flag on the top left hand corner because the British colonised Australia, and the Union Jack symbolises Australia's continuing ties with Britain. Australia has no continuing ties with the UK having legally separated in 1986 with the coming into effect of the Australia Acts on the 3rd of March 1986 . The Union flag is simply a hangover from Australias colonial era .
