Hasn't the so-called "Aboriginal Flag" been freely available tor years, or did something just change? Isn't the "Australian National Flag" - you know, the one with the flag of those nasty Poms in the corner - still, well, the national flag? If the "Aboriginal Flag" should be on Qantas aircraft, shouldn't the Torres Strait Islander Flag be there too?
Granted, it would be great for both (or all three) flags to be seen around the globe.
Use of the Aboriginal flag was subject to copyright laws which was recently settled. You should find an article on abc.net.au .
