Port Macquarie RSL Sub-branch president Greg Laird has ruled out the call but that has raised the ire of the chair of the Mid North Coast Regional Aboriginal Men's Group, Jamie Donovan.

In a letter to the Sub-branch in November, Mr Donovan urged the sub-branch to consider calls to include the Aboriginal flag on Anzac Day.

"Given the Aboriginal contribution to Australian society in general is now being more widely recognised, the didgeridoo is played at Anzac Cove and the Aboriginal flag was flown at official Anzac Day services in Sydney and Canberra, why is it not flown or paraded in Port Macquarie?" Mr Donovan said in his letter.

"Aboriginal people have fought and died alongside fellow members of the armed services in all conflicts since the Boer War, including during times when they were not considered nor counted as citizens of their own country.

“They continue to serve with pride today.

"So it would seem appropriate that in recognition of reconciliation and moving forward together, that the Aboriginal flag be flown as part of the Anzac Day commemorative activities in Port Macquarie."

Mr Donovan said the Aboriginal and the Torres Strait Islander flags were proclaimed a 'Flags of Australia' under section 5 of the Flags Act, 1953, in July 1995, 'hence giving them recognition and right under the National Flag Raising protocols'.

Mr Laird says all Australians who served in the armed services fought under the Australian flag.

"I have explained our point of view (to the Aboriginal community)," he said.

"It (the Aboriginal flag) is not a flag of a nation, it is a flag that represents a section of Australia's population.

"We fly the Australian and New Zealand flags, in recognition of the Anzacs. We will not by flying the Aboriginal flag."

He said that has been a ‘consistent forever'.

Mr Laird said we should be proud of all Australians who have served or are serving.

"I am proud of every single soldier who served this country within the Australian Armed Forces," he added.

Mr Donovan pointed to the Worimi nation in Forster, Biripi nation in Taree, Dunghutti nation in Kempsey and Gumbayngirr nation in Coffs Harbour where their respective Sub-branch has walked 'beside them in recognition of Aboriginal soldiers contributions to this nation’s war efforts'. 

"Once again, Port Macquarie, you are behind the times," he said.

Mr Donovan said that not all serving soldiers, when they returned home, were treated equally.

"When Aboriginal soldiers returned home, they returned to missions and were put under protection laws," he said.

"They weren't shown similar recognition; they weren't provided with land parcels or remunerations. There was no recognition for their service (to the country).

"They were isolated from their digger mates."

Mr Donovan said his grandfather and great grandfather were members of the Australian Army.

Anzac Day is on Wednesday, April 25.
