Ban the import and sale of fake Aboriginal art from foreign countries

The Issue

Help take a stand against fake imported Aboriginal art from countries including, Indonesia, China and Taiwan. Recently it has been said that up to Up to 90% of ‘Aboriginal-style’ art sold in shops and markets might be fake. Often art which is tagged “Aboriginal-style” has been mass-produced in factories overseas and have no input from any Aboriginal artists. There have been attempts to introduce labels to authenticate Aboriginal art to enable buyers to distinguish between what has been produced by Aboriginal people and what has not. The time has come for the Australian Government to take a stand and ban the import and sale of all fake Aboriginal art. Please help by signing this petition and sharing with all your friends and family.
