- A flag used at sporting events representing Queensland
- A flag representing Torres Strait Islander peoples, recognised as an official flag of Australia in 1995
Why this is the correct answer
Bernard Namok designed the Torres Strait Islander flag in 1992, and like the Aboriginal flag it was given official national flag status in 1995. Its design incorporates a white star and a dhari headdress, symbols of Torres Strait Islander identity and culture.
