Then read up on what is happening in Moreland and Kingston, plus similar proposals taken to council for debate in Stonnington, Mornington and Casey. Two of the affected cities are councils stacked with covert candidates, who as extinction rebellion members who were bankrolled and elected without revealing their political allegiances, they are slightly left to say the very least!

It's no coincidence that some of these councils flew the Indigenous flag at half-mast on Australia Day.

One of those councils took the same to a debate, defeated the proposal to fly the Aboriginal Flag and/or other Indigenous Flags at half-mast on Australia Day by a margin of one vote, and the councillors have been targeted by protestors ever since, labelled fascists and generally abused.

Moreland is in the Wurundjeri-Woiwurrung traditional owner area and Kingston, Casey, Stonnington and Mornington are in the Bunurong traditional owner area.  Neither of those groups have  their own flags and none of those councils have gifted land to the traditional owners.  In fact, no Aboriginal groups in Victoria have their own flag; they all use the Harold Thomas flag.

It’s pretty clear that the claim that Aboriginal groups were charging local governments a fee for flying their own flags is false.  The claim about “sacred places” gifted to Aboriginal groups is also false.

Who knows what local government councillors get up to.? Their “initiatives” generally reflect their beliefs and are usually developed without the local Aboriginal group’s knowledge or input.
