Colonialism and Capitalism have worked hand in hand to capture Indigenous Identity once again for a sack of beans and given to a very very whiter than white LNP. Will they now give that license they now own and proprietorship to Indigenous Australia? No effen way only the money earned for the time being has been promised to NIADOC. The right to fly the flag needs to be asked for and can be removed at the will of any Australian government a reflection of our 220 year colonial history. Maybe the Indigenous Council of Australia ought to have the same proprietory right over the Australian National 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.

The Morrison government has cranked up Australia Day funding tenfold in two years to promote a celebration of which we...
The National Australia Day Council (NADC), the body in charge of promoting Australia Day and choosing the Australian of the Year, has seen a tenfold increase in its funding since inception in 2014. Its funding has escalated from $4m a year when Tony Abbott was PM to $34m last year, the vast majority coming in the last 2 years under Scott Morrison.
Culture Wars: Morrison hides big spend on Australia Day
Fifty years ago today, the Aboriginal Tent Embassy was established in Canberra. It successfully pushed Australia’s government to establish indigenous land rights in the 1970s and helped create a model for militant action in indigenous rights struggles today.

Some people believe vandals erected the statue maybe their description of "our history" is more accurate. A $30 mill boost to Australia Day does seem a propaganda boost by the Morrison Government to trample over the historical fact that on the 26/Jan this land was invaded colonised and far from shared.
The statue near St Kilda beach was defaced and papered with flyers calling for the abolition of Australia Day celebrations.

A
generational divide has emerged on Australia’s national day, with most
young people shunning celebrations. But some are clinging on.
Ms Barber, from Glen Iris, is not alone. She represents one side of a growing generational divide over the celebration of Australia’s national day. A recent survey by CoreData Australia, covering 1250 Australians aged 18 and over, shows younger people are less likely to celebrate the day. Almost 70 per cent of Gen Z participants – people under the age of 26 – said they did not intend to celebrate.
Other studies released this week have reached similar conclusions. A YouGov survey showed younger generations are likely to prefer celebrating on a different day. One by Roy Morgan found almost 65 per cent of participants younger than 25 supported January 26 being referred to as Invasion Day instead of Australia Day.
Why Alex, and most people her age, have given up on Australia Day
Grace shoots down Morrison’s photo shoot and grabs the history shot in her statement on Morrison’s legacy. She surely is 2022 Australian of the Year again.
On Tuesday, Morrison did seem to have the fixed-smile freeze of a man who knows he’s in for it and has no idea how to cope. But this is a bloke who knuckle-crawled his way up through the NSW Liberal Party, knocked off a rival for pre-selection, and ran Australia’s notoriously tough offshore detention system. He has probably seen worse than a lip-curl from a lady-activist. Tame’s critics have a hard time accepting that she doesn’t care what they think, which in turn exposes their insecurity in a changing world. They have a hard time accepting her generation’s model of activism, which is predicated on the stance that it is not the job of a victim/survivor to disguise negative emotions so the powerful feel comfortable.

Idiots like Parnell highlight Morrison’s declaration ” I never look in the rear vision” nor does Parnell it seems. Morrison hit and runs and those he acts badly towards should accept they will be quickly forgotten. The history and the context in which Grace and Morrison previously met are far more important than just the nice photo. Parnell demands they be drained from it “they will see a polite couple trying to make the best of welcoming a rude young woman into their home.”
What bullshit! Grace Tame is not there to promote Scott Morrison. This photo will be historic, a statement, and what’s more not just unique but a truthful one. Parnell is doing what all elite apologists and PR commentators do. They expect us to “behave”, lie and pretend for the “camera’s sake” which simply put is a lie. It’s for Scott Morrison’s sake because this is clearly a rear vision shot and will continue to be discussed time and time again and the truth will prevail. Parnell, won’t and if she is only badly.
When the images of her last official engagement are beamed into the lounge rooms of normal people, they will see a polite couple trying to make the best of welcoming a rude young woman into their home.
