This is the text (if you need help).

Australia has bought the copyright of the Aboriginal flag for $20 million. It was owned by its designer. People needed permission from them to use it. A former Aboriginal politician was very happy that her flag is free. She said: "The flag represents 50,000 years of history.…It's a magical day for all Australians."

An indigenous artist made the flag in 1971. It became an official national flag of Australia in 1995. The government said: "Over the last 50 years, we…marched under the Aboriginal flag…and flew it high as a point of pride." He added: "All Australians can…use the flag to celebrate indigenous culture."
