Why doesn't the Australian flag have an aboriginal symbol on it?

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.
