Simple... because they can and chose to do so... For whatever reason... For you to attain an answer you would be happy with you'd be better of posting an email to google itself and asking them rather then having a bunch of ppl who you may not agree with sprout opinions which may or may not please you.

Cheers Fobz. I'm sorry that my choice of topic/conversation is slighly above your IQ level. In regards to getting a life, I enjoy the life I've been blessed with very much, and to tell you the truth, couldn't ask for any more.

Thanks for your valued input also Insome. I'm not loking for approval from anyone, just raising a topic for discussion.

The aboriginal flag is not the flag of Australia. Any flag other than the Australian flag would be removed to avoid any 'taking sides' and lets Google stay neutral. The basic design is good and wins on that merit.

It's not that its the aboriginal flag. If it was the WA flag in there, the east coast would be upset... Etc etc... So unless its your national flag, easier to remove and stay neutral.

Looks like it was simply tightarsedness.

The flag is copyrighted and designer Harold Thomas wanted too much money from Google

I think that is bullshit, If it wasn't an issue why did they take it off the main page but leave it in once you have clicked on it? you still see the logo has the Aboriginal flag, it just makes them look Racist for removing it, I think the union jack should be replaced with the Aboriginal flag!

p.s. that Harold Thomas guy sounds like a Douchebag lol.

Wait...What! Our symbol of nationhood is copyrighted by a non-governmental entity. That's bullshit! The artist should get payed a predetermined annual royalty and relinquish his right to it. In no way should he have the capacity to hold our flag to ransom in the pursuit of profit. I'm outraged!

The abo flag only represents a very small part of Modern Australia's heritage (The flag itself represents none). Your suggestion would cause race wars and Charlie Manson would become a prophet, Helter Skelter
