I don't have time for Hansen. I find him a miserable, condescending prick. Maybe that's just me, but whatever.
You’ve got it all wrong. Apparently he’s ‘dry’

I would have thought that after being on a podcast with Matt Rowley all this time, you would be used to condescending pricks by now.

Not sure why Steve should have any respect for Aussie rugby given he's spent the better part of 2 decades beating them like ginger stepkids

That may be true but he's not against a dinkum little battler. Had a helluva lotta respect for Aussie biscuits. Forget ginger step children, he smashes gingernuts.

So the aboriginal Flagg is under copyright.

@Snowy
It’s not as cut and dried as you might think it is. The copyright is by a clothing company. -
@yourmatenate I got that, but shouldn't the broader social picture take precedence?
Maybe someone could come up with an actual flag not done by a marketing company and it could be used by anyone. Like all other "flags".

@Snowy but people already identify with it...you saw the outcry when the saders changed their logo...and thats just a rugby team
My understanding was the government could declare it an official flag of Australia and that would supersede the copyright...but i cant remember where i saw that

this from last year
The debate over the use of the Aboriginal flag is unlikely to be resolved in the near future. Indeed, it seems destined to be an ongoing issue. In the words of Laura Thompson, the owner of a business which has received a cease and desist letter: “The flag represented a struggle and a resistance movement, and now it just feels like a struggle to use it.”
A tale of two flags: who owns the right to use?
The Australian government is considering whether to compulsorily acquire the rights to use the Aboriginal flag on public policy grounds. The debate…

Yes, but the 'saders one is, umm, unfortunate to say the least. Genitalia wasn't a good choice, although I am sure we can all identify with it.
A company can own a design, logo, etc, but not a symbol or emblem of a country, race, group of people, as a flag should be in my eyes. People will recognise other images as well in time.
They could try and change the flag. That went well here, but it's symbolism not identification I reckon.

It's an image on a flag, though, rather than being a flag. The link I posted above had the interesting fact that the Rainbow Flag is copyright as well - but the owner chooses not to enforce it.
This is an unofficial design that now represents a movement. It's annoying, but that's life ... find a new design I guess.
also, the tino rangatiratanga flag appears to be copyrighted too

@Snowy owned so that they can stop it going on something dodgy, but i think i read one of those that received a cease and desist was a not for profit helping to cloth aboriginals in poor rural communities....
