On Wednesday the 15th of March about 25 people gathered outside the Australian High Commission in Wellington to support the Black GST's Stolenwealth Games campaign in Melbourne, Australia. The group requested to meet with the High Commissioner to present him the demands of the Black GST but he refused their request so the gift was attached to the gate and the Australian flag was burned.
"The High Commissioner's inability to meet with a group of Black GST supporters today is indicative of the way Australia has ignored the plight of the Aboriginal people's whose land they live upon," said spokesperson Jakob Otter. "We reiterate that we are opposed to all festivities that celebrate the extension of any empire, and affirm our solidarity with the Aboriginal people of Australia and those peoples across the globe, including here in Aotearoa, who have paid such a massive cost for these games to exist."

You Fucking Ungreatful cunts!
If i ever saw u burning our flag I would fucking smash u.
Have so respect for the country that gave u so much. Go live in Iran for a while and see what u think about the Australian government then.

You punks are gonna get a taste of Patriotism soon... its gonna be on between you ungreatful weasles and us who are proud to be from the country we are.

Do us all a favour and get the fuck out of our country if u dont like it. We colonised this country and have made it an absolute heaven for anyone with half a brain to live work and be free in. Aboriginals have every right to be here and live in our society and we give them adequate funding as compensation.

Were all in the same boat.
Show some fucking respect too the old diggers who fought in WW1, WW2 or Vietnam, because burning our flag is the ultimate insult to everything they fought and died for.

oi annonymous, why don't you go back to your country, it is illegal to be a colony as stated and enacted by the 1960 decolonisation act. 75% of african countries are ex colonies, the nz and australia governments are illegal decolonised countries so you should not go around running off at the mouth what you practice and describe is farken illegal and punishable today in the international court of justice with life imprisonment or and death.

burn that flag

australia and NZ have no official flag the only true flags are the indigenous ones bugger your fella's colonial flags have no standing, like the united nations they are subject to the whims of their white masters and are an example of what a modern day illegal occupation looks like...... kuare noa koe hoki ki to whanau ake
