A letter in the Queensland State Archives reveals that not even the Queensland Government knows the significance of the Maltese Cross on the Queensland flag. The most credible theory is that Queensland and the Victoria Cross became allied as a result of the fact that the Victoria Cross is a form of the Maltese Cross. The Victoria Cross was first offered in 1857 by Queen Victoria at the close of the Crimean War and Queensland was established as an independent state in 1859, just two years later.

He didn't choose it. The Maltese Cross (also called the Iron Cross) was the official symbol of the German military since around 1871, although versions of the cross date back far earlier.
The Maltese flag features two vertical bands, white on the hoist side and red on the fly side. The white symbolizes peace and purity, while the red represents the struggle for freedom and the blood shed by those who fought for Malta's independence. Additionally, the George Cross, located in the upper hoist corner, serves as a reminder of the bravery of the Maltese people during World War II. Together, these elements reflect Malta's rich history and values.
