What's the Story with the Flag?

The flag (above) was designed by the Anarchist Media Institute, publishers of the Anarchist Age, to meet what we felt was a need peculiar to Anarchists in Australia. (Though the concept is applicable elsewhere!).

That is, while we wish to express our relationship to the international anarchist movement, we also feel it is important to acknowledge the original inhabitants of Australia.

The flag also stresses the importance, in the development of an anarchist presence on this continent, of recognising that our anarchism is largely a product of European thought and, as such, is also an invader in this land.

So, what does it signify?

The Black - The International Anarchist Flag....negates all borders.
The Red & Yellow - The Colours of the Aboriginal Flag - Red for Blood, Yellow for Sun.
The Green & Blue - The Colours of the Torres Strait Islander Flag - Green for Land, Blue for Sea.
