Valid FOI request
Your email does not yet fulfil the requirements of a request under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act). Specifically, as your email relates to questions rather than requesting access to specific documents, it does not fulfil the requirement prescribed by paragraph 15(2)(b) of the FOI Act:

(2) The request must:
(b) provide such information concerning the document as is reasonably necessary to enable a responsible officer of the agency, or the Minister, to identify it;

As such, your email is not yet considered to be a valid FOI request.

Publicly available information
You may like to view the following link to the Ministerial and Parliamentary Services website which provides some general information about Australian Flags for Presentation to Constituents. http://www.maps.finance.gov.au/office_ad...
