Aboriginal Acknowledgement at the Sydney Memorial
I was approached by a lady who I have known for some time and is a lawyer here in Geraldton. She asked me why there is not the Aboriginal Flag flying at the Sydney Memorial and a plaque acknowledging the original owners of the land. She was very offensive. I told her I would speak to the President of the Rotary Club of Geraldton which I hope to do asap.
