And reasoning behind the labelling?


Step forward, Uncle Wyatt


Mr Wyatt, who became the first Indigenous member of the House of Representatives when he won the WA seat of Hasluck for the Liberal Party in 2010, said Ms Mettam's stance pushed Aboriginal people to the side.

"If we extrapolate the desire not to stand in front of the Aboriginal flag or the Torres Strait Islander flag, then the logic would be why would you stand in front of a flag that has the Union Jack on it?" he said.

"Because we are no longer an Anglo-British continent, we are a multi-cultural society that represents a mix of so many people."



He is very silly, our Uncle Wyatt. He was evidently not preselected on merit but on DEI. If we extrapolate (what is the Aboriginal word for 'extrapolate', btw?) his idiocy, all the flags of all the countries of the world would have to be displayed.


Aborigines have been British subjects from the very beginning. They are Australian citizens and are NOT citizens of any nonexistent 'First Nations'. The Australian flag, therefore, includes them.

Oh BS. In case you've been living a sheltered life of late there is a massive ground swell/push back against all this us & them agenda aka identity politics by leftwing morons in the ALP.  This is one nation, under one flag.
