DEAR News Of The Area,

Please explain why 3.8 percent of our population can change names of our icons without agreement or vote from the rest of our population?

I have no problems with naming their art galleries etc with indigenous names, but to change Fraser Island with K’gari and dingoes with wongari and not having the Australian name in brackets is outrageous.

If these can be changed, what will the power and authority of the ‘yes’ vote do?

Heaven help us.

Regards,
Barbara WESTIN,
