Shout out to deadliest Murri Leigh Harris @ingeousstudios His design work is faultless & he gives back to community. I hired Leigh to create Deadly Digits logo. Deadly Digits is a project between @qldgov & @ReckonHQ which went live today https://t.co/wAR2FtG9dC
@colleen_chen_@jade_mikaela@taminap @DarkiesDesign Thx for mention @colleen_chen_ when it comes to #Technology in #STEAM we really need the support and establishment of a First Nations Technology Council to advocate for and build the sector. https://t.co/6QPMVcyL7Z
@IndigenousX @KenWyattMP @NITV We have some #Indigenousbusinesses that are also farming contracts offshore. Its sad but true. If you track some of these supply chains you find that its a bit too prevalent. We need to bring things back our grassroots and localise wealth creation.
@IndigenousX All government funding agreements need to also be tied to #IndigenousBusiness procurement. Still we have some of our organisations using whitefella businesses. This should also be a requirement in Annual Reporting.
Aboriginal man Harold Thomas designed the Ab’l flag in ‘71 and recently reached a commercial copyright agreement with WAM Clothing who now licence for exclusive use. Isn’t that self determination? Entrepreneurial? Shouldn’t we be respecting the rights of HT?
@Graeme_Orr@DrCol_McL @mdavisqlder @ConFrantzeskos@jason_mifsud Some infomation is misleading. In the Far North all organisations I do shirt for that are registered Not-for-Profit use both flags without any letters from WAM. So obviously someone has been mislead or misread in what is happening.
@Graeme_Orr@DrCol_McL @mdavisqlder @ConFrantzeskos@jason_mifsud Many fought for the rights for us to make our our decisions. We need to respect it not challenge it. If the #FlagFight continues we need to think about a First Nation flag one that bringa both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags together.
@Graeme_Orr@DrCol_McL @mdavisqlder @ConFrantzeskos@jason_mifsud If the Government are not prepared to buy the copyright. The us as First Nations ppl need to fund the purchase of it. Poor Harold did what he had to do. The flag was appropriate by us its about time he was respected dor his choice as an Aboriginal man.
@jason_mifsud Apparently they will be displaying the Torres Strait Island Flag. In my opinion if they do not have both together they should never fly or display one by itself. Never. We are together as Indigenous ppl. To fly one flag is not right protocol
@DrCol_McL@jason_mifsud We need to accept his decision. It sound like compulsory aquisition of the flag that has been culturally appropriate by 'US MOB' is simply another form of Native Title. It's shameful we need to reapect his rights and pay for it.
