To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives assembled in Parliament.

  The petition of certain citizens of Australia draws to the attention of the House our strongest support for the existing National Flag.

  The Australian National Flag is the most important symbol of the Australian nation and our national unity, and has evoked deep feelings of honour and respect from many generations of Australians.

  Your petitioners therefore respectfully ask the House of Representatives to preserve our current Australian National Flag and to ensure that its design is not changed without the support of a referendum carried by the majority of Australians in the majority of States.
