Quite simple
(1) The NZ flag does not have the "Commonwealth Star" which is an integral part of the Australian flag (this is the six pointed star to represent the six founding states plus Australia's territories, located under the Union Jack)
(2) The NZ flag has the Southern Cross coloured red with white borders(rather than white on the Aussie flag)
(3) The Southern Cross on the NZ flag only has four five-pointed stars (rather than five on the Aussie - four with seven points and one with five)
(Typo on original answer incorrectly said the stars on the Aussie flag were blue - they are of course white
Because different countrys are sposed to have different flags.
We both have the Southern Cross and the Union Jack on it and there the same colours. But the Australian flag has a 7 courners on it representing the 7 states and territories. The 7 countrys and territories are... New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, Northern territory, South Australia, Canberra, Tasmaina.
Because they came from a similar background in what was the British Empire. They have similar cultures, and are relatively close to each other.
because they are both captured by the english and are so close to each other
