Colonialism and Capitalism have worked hand in hand to capture Indigenous Identit once again for a sack of beans to a very very whiter than white LNP. Will they give the license they now own and proprietorship to Indigenous Australia? No effen way only the money earned for the time being to NIADOC. The right to fly the flag needs to be asked for and can be removed at the will of the Australian government. Maybe the Indigenous council of Australia ought to have thet same proprietory right over the Australian flag.
The Aboriginal flag will be transferred to public hands for the first time, freeing its use for Indigenous community groups and sporting codes after the Australian government reached a historic deal with its creator to permanently acquire copyright more than 50 years after it was first flown. The $20 million taxpayer-funded settlement will end a long-running legal controversy surrounding its use by allowing the ensign to be painted on sports grounds, used on apparel such as sports jerseys and shirts, on websites, in paintings and other artworks, digitally and in any other medium without having to ask for permission or pay a fee.
