The Aboriginal flag — which has flown on Sydney Harbour Bridge as part of NAIDOC Week — will remain where it is, replacing the New South Wales flag.
The New South Wales Premier's office has confirmed the Aboriginal flag — which has been flown on Sydney Harbour Bridge as part of NAIDOC Week celebrations — will permanently replace the New South Wales flag.
"They know how to make an argument in an empty house, creating such a long, protracted battle over a flag," he said. "I'm glad it's resolved." A spokesman for Premier Dominic Perrottet's office said the government would erect a New South Wales flag as part of its Macquarie Street East precinct redevelopment.
