Free the Flag
The flag represents the country's aboriginal community. It was proclaimed as an australian flag back in the mid nineties. In 19 97, the federal court recognized the indigenous artist, harold thomas, as the sole designer. A few years ago, he granted the exclusive license to a company called wam clothing. The controversy came when wam tried to slap infringement notices on small, non profit indigenous organizations. That spark to campaign called hashtag free the flag. This week, the government in cambra made a deal, effectively buying out commercial interests and making the flag free for all to use.
