Victorian parliament to permanently fly Aboriginal flag

Victorian Premier Dan Andrews making great use of Instagram while making a serious point about recognition of Australia’s first peoples:

Flying alongside the Australian and Victorian State flag, the addition of the Aboriginal flag acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, and the continued strength of Aboriginal identity.
