Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries and Assistant Minister for Regional Tourism) (15:39): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator DUNIAM: The Aboriginal flag is a powerful and respected signal for all Australians and to Minister Wyatt, who knows the creator and copyright owner, Harold Thomas, and the government encourages all Australians to fly and show the flag with pride. The Australian government is aware of the concerns around the copyright of the Aboriginal flag and is seeking to resolve the matter in a way that respects the rights of the flag's creator while ensuring the flag continues to be a symbol of unity for Aboriginal people. Question agreed to.
