The 'KOORI' flag was STOLEN from an artwork by a non-Koori Aborigine Artist who said he did not want it as a flag, it was an artwork.
The Koori are just one tribe in the south who deem themselves to be 'the' tribe and their Flag to be the universal Aborigine flag. The MEDIA has gone along with all this and pumped it.

In truth, the Koori have become the violent equivalent of the ZULU in southern Africa.

Many aborigines DO RECOGNISE the Australian flag as the POLITICAL REPRESENTATION of this country.

If there was a flag for all industries, careers and ways of life pertaining to 'THE LAND' then that Koori flag MIGHT be it.

The irony or hypocrisy of the Aborigines claiming to be the people of the LAND, then using the flag as a POLITICAL flag, is pathetic, corrupt and just BLATANT BLACK RACISM.

The Australian Aboriginal flag was designed by artist Harold Thomas in 1971....A Luritja man from the Norther Territory....Koori Indigenous Australians are the people who live in the region of southern New South Wales and Victoria....What else are you ignorant about???

Peter Dutton knows how to read the room.

Do you agree with Dutton refusing to display the Aboriginal and Tores Strait Island flags Freediver....Do you think this act of rejection will bring Australian's together....Feel free to have an opinion???

Huh

I think it is a storm in a teacup. But he is hopefully signalling that he understands a more fundamental shift in public attitude - that we do not support the government treating people differently according to their race. And we are fed up with corrupt, unaccountable, unelected aboriginal "representatives" who, surprise surprise, always seem to line their own pockets and never actually solve anything. At least, that is what I am hoping it signals. I don't really care about the flag itself, and wonder about people who do.

Do you care about the flag Phil?

As I am related to Aboriginal people I accept their place in Australian history....Is it asking too much they are represented by their own flag....If it doesn't matter why is Dutton making it such an issue Freediver....Why should Aboriginal people accept the Australian flag Freediver....Do you think this act will bring Australian's together by rejecting Aboriginal representation Freediver or you just don't give a crap about Aboriginal people who are all corrupt, unaccountable, unelected aboriginal "representatives???

"Is it asking too much they are represented by their own flag.."

Yes...................... they are represented by the Australian flag - but if they choose to not be Australian citizens, they are welcome to resign that position. Among themselves they may be represented by the false Aboriginal flag invented by some white guy... like a football team they can display their colours as they wish.... but it carries no special rights or privileges.

It is only right that Australia be represented by the Australian flag - and all others are just group flags having nothing to do with ....... ***rushing train** ................. sovereignty.

MY Aboriginal relatives feel the same - all this guff doesn't represent them.

What say you, Heroic Philperth - to a White Australia flag raised alongside as well? And a Yellow and such as well? We could have flagpoles all around Parliament House, eh?

We have a wonderful flag - I have one. Doesn't mean that other Australian flags don't have a place.

Remember the republic nonsense that went on, part of that was a new flag. Every man and his neighbours dog wanted a new flag. Now the UK based flag is so important to all of us. Don't get me wrong I support our current flag it is better than all the other options (one of the worlds great flags). I even personally think that the Eureka flag should be given a better status.
