NSW Govt, Displaying Highbrow Intellect, Will Use Free, Existing Bridge Pole For Aboriginal Flag

After ALL that fuss over the $25 million price tag to install a third flag pole on the Sydney Harbour Bridge for the Aboriginal flag, the NSW Government has figured out a genius way to cut costs and still do the right thing. Instead of putting a new premium pole up there, apparently encrusted with fkn diamonds, it announced it would simply take the dumb state flag down and replace it with the Aboriginal flag. So two flags: the Aboriginal flag and the Australian flag. Huzzah! Such highbrow intellect from government masterminds! Honestly this is so fucking obvious and I can’t believe it took them six months to figure it out. Hats off to them though because they actually listened to the public and have decided the $25 million would be redirected into Close The Gap initiatives. Fkn good. NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet announced the flag would fly on the bridge permanently back in February
