Yes, becuse republic is totaly going to be better...
Well thats new some sneering foolhardy sarcasm. Thanks for keeping to the topic, being constructive, empathetic, and suggesting ways this might be applicable; I guess.
Guys of course Steam is not gonna come around to this but a man can dream cant he. I mean I am not even PoC but I feel threatened by racism etc etc read my statements already made.
I mean the simplest thing is that you can choose your own flag but none of you suggested anything reomtely like that cause heaven forbid that would be progress. Peace.
Yeh sorry about that. Good point.
I'm a citizen of the country of Australia. Indigenous Australians are ALSO citizens of the country of Australia. That is what the flag represents. The indigenous Australians are more than welcome to sue for independence and form their own state with their own established government. And when that happens, they get to have their own national flag.
Not a single drop of blood need be wasted on it. We're a democracy now. You have the right to be independent if you agree upon it as a people. It would be a long and arduous process, sure, but it can be done, and it sure as ♥♥♥♥ beats shooting at one another until one side gives in. (Especially since we'd be shooting back with tanks and intercontinental missiles)
The colonial era was a ♥♥♥♥ show driven by Great Britain's hatred and competition with the French and the Spanish. But that was hundreds of years ago. Yes, there is blood on the Union Jack, but that blood is all scabby and brown and it's about time somebody cleaned that ♥♥♥♥ off with a damp cloth already.
European Australians are more than willing to bury the hatchet. You can ask any "White" Australian whether they think the fact that Europeans came over here, decided that the entire continent belonged to them, then decided to "unsavagafy" the natives was a good thing, and I can guarantee you that almost all of them will say "♥♥♥♥ that ♥♥♥♥" and the few who say that it WAS a good thing to do will unanimously be called a ♥♥♥♥ by the rest of us.
This whole "Indigenous Australians and European Australians are two completely different people," ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is the driving force of a lot of social tension in our country. Maybe not in the East Coast, but I live in Darwin, and over here a "white fella" and a "black fella" (Those are terms used over here, I ♥♥♥♥ you not! And people in Vic thought "Aboriginal" was racist) can't walk past each other on the street without glaring at one another.

Do not get me wrong, I am (mildly) receptive to the idea of Indigenous Australia having their own flag, since the flag doesn't actually mean anything at the end of the day, it's just a thing they have on your profile.
However, I do NOT want it to be part of the Australian flag. People have the right to association in this country, but people ALSO have the right NOT to be associated.
The Indigenous Australian Flag is something I do not want to be associated with. People might get the wrong idea about me and assume I'm an Indigenous Australian or something. People already get the wrong idea about me because of my avatar.
If the Indigenous Australian flag was going to be included, it would have to be listed as its own separate country, same with the Torres Strait Islander Flag.
Yeah, Britain is the real victim here. Won't somebody think of the British??
"Flags don't mean anything", says the person strenuously insisting nobody bring an Aboriginal flag near them.
How horrible.
Look, I don't really care if you don't want to be represented by the Aboriginal flag. That's fine. If I were designing the system I'd just let people pick the flag - or any number of flags - that they want to represent themselves with. But jesus, the way the Aboriginal flag puts people on the defensive is indicative that our country has a long way to go in addressing this stuff.
If there was a flag for Australians who are white, or a flag for Australians who were Asian, I would be just as put off by those.
But people have the right to fly what ever flag they want. Just as I have the right not to.
In other words: the Aboriginal Flag should be an option, but it should not be forced upon everybody who just happens to be an Australian, which is what the OP was suggesting.
TLDR: Thank you for clarifying your point Wolf-Chan I can definetly see what you mean and once again I thank you
