Why

The Australia-West Papua Association thanks the  Inner West Council in Sydney for supporting the raising of the West Papuan National Flag on its Leichhardt Town Hall for the 18th year in a row.

As December 1 is a Sunday and council closed the flag will be raised on the November 29.

It’s the 63rd anniversary of the first official flying of the Morning Star flag in 1961, in the then Dutch colony of Netherlands New Guinea. 

The event  is a photo opportunity to show our West Papuan friends that they have supporters in Sydney and around the world who care about the human rights situation in their territory.

It’s a family friendly 

9.15am for 9.30am start.
