Australia has launched its Olympic uniforms for the looming Paris Games featuring the largest-ever splashes of Indigenous artwork.

Paul Fleming, an Indigenous Australian from Wakka Wakka Wanyurr Majay, Yuggera Country who boxed for Australia at the 2008 Olympics, was instrumental in creating the Indigenous aspects of the uniforms.
