The southern cross I believe was a symbol of revolution, a break away from the British rule in Australia. It gives Australia its own identity, bringing the people together. Although this symbol has become patriotic amongst most Australians it has caused a massive problem within our community. It has segregated Australia and its foundation of immigrants, for example the "Cronulla Riots". So I believe this symbol has completely changed from its original meaning to bring together a nation to segregating one!
