Creation of Australian citizenship and the national flag
Jan 26, 2024 Episode 15
Conan Elphicke and Chris McCombe

In this, the penultimate episode of The History Blokes, Conan looks at Australian citizenship, which didn't exist until the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948. He also examines the emergence of the Australian flag, which was designed in 1901 but didn't become the official national flag for another 50 years.

There's a strong Kiwi flavour to this ep. Conan subjects Chris to a quiz on New Zealand history, while Chris looks at the referendums a few years ago that nearly saw the New Zealanders change their flag.
