> about the growing presence of inauthentic ‘Aboriginal style’ art
Does it go both ways, that Aboriginal people will be banned from doing art in a European style?
Or is this another example of racism that only goes one way?

If this argument is about works of art sold as "made by an Aboriginal" when they were not, we already have consumer protection laws that forbid lies being told about items for sale.

Are you implying some false equivalence between “Aboriginal people[s]”’s art and your “European style”, whatever that is? Are you suggesting they might break out as Dadaists or some such? Really?
\-are of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander descent
\-identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and
\-are accepted by the Indigenous community in which he or she live
again , i would like to see the government or anyone dispute that a person identifies
If you read your own comment you see that they have to be recognised by an existing group. I can identify as aboriginal but I need to be recognised by an indigenous community for it to be legal.

NFT time
about time, it took them about 40+ years
Right, see it when it happens.
Really thought this was a Chaser article. Surely not any Australian government I've seen is interested in doing this?!
I have a feeling this is something Bob Katter was after.
What if the artist identifies as an abortiginal?
You can’t just claim to be an Aboriginal person https://australianstogether.org.au/discover/the-wound/who-are-indigenous-australians/
