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.
