The union Jack
There is a Union Jack on the the New Zealand flag because New Zealand was colonised by Great Britain, and it is still a part of the British Commonwealth. New Zealand still regards the Queen of England as their head of state and Queen.
Australia was once part of the commonwealth or the British empire, which is reflected in the flag.
