Sadly it is very true.One of the very few times I have watched the program. They are also after the coat of arms symbol apparently a great disrespect for their culture AND the Caramello Koala, now come on!! Basically any commercial symbol which they regard people are benefitting from that has a koala,kangaroo,enchidna,kookaburra, etc if approved by the courts will be in breach.They are considering however a user pay system which seems very kind considering it will save us changing the australian currency emblems,business logo's etc.Even the, is it "kookaburra" brand cricket balls? was mentioned.And of course the Government would be called upon to compensate business for their losses if forced to change these. Now I realise some harsh things were done years ago and I know some very descent indigenous people but surely this is not going to help their cause with gaining respect from the average australian taxpayer.. .So what shape animal will the caramello koala's become?
