Annie Dorrington did not design the Australian flag; it was created through a competition won by a design submitted by a 14-year-old boy named Edward "Ed" M. H. "Dingo" Dorrington, who was inspired by the British Blue Ensign. The flag was officially adopted on September 3, 1901. Therefore, Annie Dorrington's age is not relevant to the design of the Australian flag.

The flag's official specifications, including its design and colors, are outlined in the Flags Act 1953.

Because Aboriginals weren't considered when the flag was designed. Does the American flag have a representation for Native Americans in the design? The Union Jack in the Australian flag represents the colonial power, the source of language, law and traditions, and the major source of immigrants, at least until WWII.
