1. The Union Jack represents the origin of the original settlers, which is England.
2. The 6 stars are made up of the Southern Cross (5 stars) and the Star of Federation (1 star).
All countries in the South Pacific has the Southern Cross on them.
The Star of Federation is not a "Real" star it is symbol. Each point represents a state in Australia (Australia has 6 states) and 1 point to represent Australia's territories (Australia has 7 territories).
