Why this petition matters

Started by Cheree Toka

This campaign is led by proud Kamilaroi yinarr Cheree Toka.

As Australians, we are proud of our Aboriginal heritage and we want to recognise and celebrate this heritage every day. 

The flags flying from the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge are wonderful symbols of our heritage and identity. However, the Aboriginal flag does not fly permanently atop of the Sydney Harbour bridge.

The undersigned petitioners therefore ask the Legislative Assembly and additional decision makers for a third flag to fly alongside the Australian and the NSW flags – one that acknowledges and celebrates our ancient and authentic Aboriginal culture; the red, black and yellow Aboriginal flag.

After 3 years of campaigning, reaching 10,000 signed petition papers and debating the matter in Parliament, the Legislative Assembly came to the conclusion that achieving this simple act is too costly to add an extra flagpole. 

The solution, I will pay for it myself. I need your help to make this happen and donate to my GoFundMe

There are estimates for the cost of a flagpole upwards of $300,000. This is so achievable with your help. I invite you to be a part of history by donating to raise the flag permanently. It will send a clear and powerful message to NSW leaders that Australians won't settle for anything less.

PLEASE DONATE TO FUND THE FLAG
