'Indigenous elder 'gobsmacked' by RSLWA decision to discourage Aboriginal flag and languages at major services

An Indigenous elder says he's "gobsmacked" by the West Australian branch of the RSL decision to discourage the display of Aboriginal flags and Welcome to Country ceremonies at Anzac Day and Remembrance Day services.

RSLWA has denied reports it's "banning" the flying of the Aboriginal flag, but the policy states that on ANZAC and Remembrance days, only the Australian and New Zealand national flags, and the West Australian state flag will be recognised.

It also says, that on these days, all content, whether read or sung, must be delivered in English, with the New Zealand national anthem the only exception.'
