WAM Clothing is part-owned by Ben Wooster, whose previous company, Birubi Art, was fined a record $2.3m by the federal court after finding it had breached consumer law by selling fake Aboriginal art.
The minister for Indigenous Australians, Ken Wyatt, has long said his agency is in “quiet discussions” with parties involved, including Thomas, about ways to resolve the issue but has said it is “extremely complicated”.
These “negotiations” have been under way for more than two years.
“The Australian government is continuing its negotiations with Mr Thomas and the licensees of the Aboriginal flag to resolve public concerns relating to its use, so that all Australians can freely celebrate and honour the integrity of the flag,” Wyatt said on Friday.

Massive pride - Australia gushes over Barty s Wimbledon win

Sydney (AFP)
Fellow indigenous star Cathy Freeman and Australian tennis great Rod Laver led tributes Sunday to Ashleigh Barty after her breakthrough at Wimbledon, hailing her as inspirational.
The 25-year-old clinched her maiden crown at the All England Club by beating Karolina Pliskova 6-3, 6-7 (4/7), 6-3 on Saturday, adding to the French Open title she won in 2019.
Her victory came on the 50th anniversary of her friend and mentor Evonne Goolagong Cawley s first triumph at Wimbledon.
She wore a dress inspired by the one Australian Cawley sported in the 1971 final and while the 69-year-old had no immediate reaction, Freeman said Barty had made indigenous people proud.
