The Queensland government has issued new directives limiting—and potentially axing—the use of Indigenous “Acknowledgement to Country” and artworks in official email signatures.
The directive from the Liberal National Party (LNP) to government staff was tabled by Labor’s shadow spokesperson for Aboriginal affairs, Leanne Enoch, in state parliament on June 26.
