I still remember where I was standing that night :) what a beautiful memory for Australia . So proud of you Kathy Freeman
Good on you, Cathy! The Australian National flag and the Flag of Australia's Original Inhabitants are at least equally important and equally significant. Keep on flying the two flags of Australia with pride!
2:10: Not just you my friend, nlt just you
My mum gave her the flag
Replace the union jack at the Australian flwg with the aboriginal flag!
Recognition on the flag has got to come! Yes!
To the idiots saying one flag end of story. Australia recognises 7 flags under the Flags Act, there are also three additional governmental flags set by other legislation. But if you want to ignore context, history, and reality, and can only hold one idea in your head at one time….sure ONE FLAG ONLY.

I don't think it has shifted in the right direction, some of the comments below highlight this.
Seems about right for ABC, 10 people all pushing the exact same view from one side. Speculating on what problems others might have had with it but of course not actually asking anyone. What is objective or impartial about this? Whether its correct or not is irrelevant, pushing certain opinions should not be ABC's job and this is exactly why ABC funding needs to be cut.
Agreed
One flag for Australia, END OF STORY.!!!! Two flags creates a division and that is what some people want.
When you diminish the division prevalent right now, the flag will become one.
But the flag is not the starting point.
right. The aboriginal one is much more beautiful
Two flags is fine, one for the first Aussies and one for us that came later , what's the big deal , plenty of room on a flag pole for both
Hard out the aussie flag with the sun on it is awesome. Ditch the uk symbol
@@troublemaker1228 yes ditch the union jack andd replace with aboriginal
perec was better ..shame to australia
