Re your post which included; "... No! Keep politics out of the Olympic Games."
Aborigines did not put politics into the Olympic Games; our governments & the AOC have done that. For many Aborigines our flag is a denial of history & a painful reminder of the manner in which great Britain 'colonised Australia'.
To quote Anthony Mundine from another part of that same article;
"I think the Australian Olympic Committee should have a good look at themselves," he said. "It's just like Cathy Freeman did [in 2000] ... she flew both when she won the gold. But for me I'd love to see the flag change and have our people recognised on that flag. The South Africans, they changed their flag. As long as we are not recognised and united, I can't stand for it. I never will."
We have no right to suppress the spirit & rightful claims of our indigenous people via disgraceful attempts to deny Aborigines the opportunity to proudly fly their flag!
