Not the flag of Aditla

“Another Aussie failed State”, a post in the blog Living Timorously (reported by J. Patrick Fischer, 08 Apr 2007), shows the East Timorese national flag with the Southern Cross in Australian-style instead of the usual single five-pointed star. Though the text mentions a 1974-1975 party ADITLA — Associação Democrática para a Integração de Timor Leste na Austrália (Democratic Association for the Integration of East Timor into Australia), this is surely not its flag: The current national flag was designed in late 1975 and was then (and long till 1999 and even later) perceived as the flag of a Fretilin-sponsored state project, not the East Timorese flag. (See alternatives.)
