Surely they will realise the stupidity of the decision and retract it
before its too late, but what a fine set of opportunities it
provides! What is Arthur Tunstall doing these days? With a decision
like this he can't be far away.
I like the idea of athletes of all nations refusing to perform
without a Koori flag patch on their gear. Maybe groups of spectators
could go dressed in colours which , when added together, make up the
flag. There must be a million other possible responses. The campaign
to get Sir William Deane (or even John Howard?) to wear a flag badge
at the opening ceremony could begin right now!
Best of all was the comment that it contravenes a rule which prevents
"non-participating countries" flags from being flown. Looks like
Aboriginal nationhood has been recognised at last, at least by SOCOG!
Does this also mean that Kathy Freeman et al aren't eligible to
represent Australia?
