'AHOY!'
Presto, October, 2004

After weeks billowing in a nor-wester on a Christchurch rooftop as part of the Ahoy! flag project in late 2004, A Constructed World presents Jon Campbell's YEAH flag as the new Australian flag.

ACW write "People are disillusioned with the way Australian culture and history is being represented. A new flag will create a new way of thinking about our future. We the undersigned demand that the YEAH flag be made the Australian national flag and call on the government to make provision with respect to all existing flags."
