Aboriginal flag is from the spin-off series 'Australia's Flags in 50 Seconds'.
It looks at why it's here, where did it come from, the history and what the colours represent.

Originally designed by artist Harold Thomas as a land rights movement in 1971, it soon became a wider symbol of the aboriginal people of Australia.

🏆 My Goal 🏆

My goal is to share the stories of flags on YouTube to as many of you as possible. To bring them to life through quick and simple facts, history, meaning in as entertaining a way I can.

I want to cater to those of you who might want to know a little more about a flag linked to a holiday to a vexillologist who knows their shi.... stuff. I want to help YOU, whoever you are out there reading this, increase your knowledge and expand your horizons in the world of flags.

1994 Commonwealth Games saw controversy when athlete Cathy Freeman carried both the Aboriginal and Australia's National Flag during her victory lap after winning the 200 meters. She was warned that only 1 flag is allowed, so when she won the 400 meters as well, she ignored the warning and again carried both flags.

Afterwards PM Paul Keating decided that this and the Torres Strait Islander f#s to be given national status and Governor General William Hayden had the 1953 Flag Act amended accordingly.

There is an issue around copyright regarding this flag but it's too complicated and long to cover in such a short period, but suffice to say if you want to put this flag on the side of a mug and sell it, you need permission first.

[23/01/2022 Update: As of today the copyright © issue surrounding the Aboriginal Flag has been removed by the government purchasing the rights and issuing the flag freely to the people, no different to the main national flag]

The Aboriginal flag of Australia.
