Queen Victoria Market is banning the sale of inauthentic indigenous products from 1 July 2023.Queen Victoria Market chief executive Stan Liacos said selling the products harmed indigenous creators and was out of step with contemporary Australian values and expectations.Queen Victoria Market will ban the sale of inauthentic Indigenous products, such as overseas-made boomerangs and imitation artworks, in a bid to protect and encourage Aboriginal art and culture.
“The Productivity Commission is intending to move on this matter probably next year and we wanted to get ahead of it,” he said. “We know that we’ll lose a little bit of customers as a result of this,” he said. “We think that is a small price to pay for the bigger question about doing the right thing.”Credit:Market trader Jye Richardson sells both authentic and inauthentic Indigenous products at his stall, Made Tarsa, and said he welcomed the ban.
Lord Mayor Sally Capp said she pushed for the ban at the market as the sale of the inauthentic goods was disrespectful to Indigenous culture. The Productivity Commission’s draft report into Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visual arts and crafts published in July called for mandatory labelling of inauthentic products to help warn consumers and curb the significant cultural harm that the products cause to artists and consumers.The report found sales of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art were worth $250 million in 2019-2020 but artists themselves only received a fraction of this money.

carawaters Maybe those complaining should pull their head in?
carawaters Customs should ban it from entering the country. I sell collectables, and it can be hard to tell the difference sometimes. I've sold a lot of genuine Aboriginal art and weapons, but even got fooled myself with a Chinese fake a couple of years ago.
carawaters What a crap headline. Repetition of the word 'move.' Try this. Queen Victoria Market will ban lethal food products, containing poison, but the move has divided stall holders with some labelling it an 'over-woke' move.

carawaters Should have happened years ago. Rubbish made overseas. Theft of cultural property. Deprives Indigenous Australians of revenue.
carawaters They should go even further & ban the sale of anything indigenous that is not made with traditional materials & in the traditional way.
carawaters If they are licenced reproductions by the real artist ok but if it's some mass produced china garbage then no that should be banned. At least make sure it's Australian made.
