It does not have one.
Surprising as it may seem, Australia does not actually have any "official" animals. The kangaroo and the emu are on Australia's coat-of-arms.
The official language is the language that is mostly used in official departments. In many countries it is also the spoken language. However, in many countries it could be different than the spoken language(s) there. That happens sometime in small countries that use a more common language than their native language for official use. However, it may also occur in countries where the official language is not the common spoken language, such as in the Arab World where the spoken languages are remarkably different from Arabic, the official language there.
In most cases, I believe that it means the same thing. A national language would be the language spoken by most of the people; an official language would be the language designated by a government body as the national language and may be required to be taught in the schools. The official language is usually the language spoken by most of the people.
The official language is the one all business is conducted in, so that everybody should know it, and the national language may only be used by some people.

Languages can become official through various means. In some cases, a language is designated as official by a government or legislative body through a formal declaration or legislation. In other cases, a language may already be widely spoken and used in government, education, and official settings, leading to its recognition as an official language. The process of designating a language as official can vary depending on the country or region.
In Ireland the most widely spoken language is English. According to the Irish constitution the official language is Irish. Article 8 of the constitution is as follows:1. The Irish language as the national language is the first official language.2. The English language is recognised as a second official language. 3. Provision may, however, be made by law for the exclusive use of either of the said languages for any one or more official purposes, either throughout the State or in any part thereof.

Yes it is. Wrong. No it certainly is not. While English may be the defacto language of the United States, there is no officially recognized language on the federal level. However, 28 states have passed laws or mandates making English the official language in their states. Actually, English is the official language of 31 states as of today, and three more are greatly considering it (Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Texas I believe, and I am sure there are more). It has official status in the country, but not at a national level.
