The Aboriginal flag Copyright controversy explained

In recent headlines you might have seen the Aboriginal Flag caught up in a copyright controversy. On today’s episode we get you up to speed, looking at why the flag is copyrighted, who can use the flag and for what purpose, and who should own the Aboriginal flag? For example, did you know that if you get a tattoo of the Aboriginal flag you're technically breaking copyright laws?

We speak with Professor Isabella Alexander an expert on all things copyright, and Gunditjmara woman Laura Thompson who found out the threat is real when she received a 'Cease and Desist' notice last year. That legal threat prompted her to start a campaign to free the flag from copyright.

In today's headlines:

  • Victoria’s 12 month state of emergency extension dead in the water
  • Senior Chinese diplomat says Australia “betrayed” Beijing
  • Two people killed during US protests over latest police shooting
