One could argue that moves like this are "all cherry and no sundae", but I get your point.
Change name - tick. Indigenous consultation and first nations basis for new name? - About as relevant as me saying I should have a say in the name of the next royal baby, and that it should be reflective of my (non Anglo/Celtic/Germanic) ethnic background.

Do they still own the trademark coon though?
Interesting question. As an aside, I strongly disagree with your signature, but I guess that's only tangentially related to the thread, so I won't comment any further.
I'm glad the name has changed and I'd hope that all the people that kicked up a stink about the name changing can move on.

* me, i will still call it Coon Cheese, it's not racist
That one person clearly has mental issues to care so much about it. Its friggen cheese. He should seek help.So now it is called CHEER cheese.
Sounds weird, we'll get used to it.
One person isn't happy with the new name and how it was chosen though:
Indigenous people 'should have been' consulted
Stephen Hagan is glad that Coon cheese has been renamed but would have liked Indigenous input into the new name.www.theage.com.au
Is he for real?
Why bother?
Power Raid
We Exist To Win Premierships
So now it is called CHEER cheese.
Sounds weird, we'll get used to it.

Given Cheese is yellow, my wife who is Asian is extremely disappointed she wasn't consulted
So now it is called CHEER cheese.

That guy said he'd shut up years ago if they proved Edward Coon existed
Coon cheese next on anti-racism hit-list
An anti-racism campaigner says Coon cheese is next on his hit-list after the Qld government ruled a grandstand would not be renamed after E.S. "fellow" Brown.
So he should have kept quiet years ago, instead he keeps advertising himself.
He spent over 20 years campainging against the name Coon and when the change was announced and people kicked back, said something like it's only a name I don't know why people are upset about it.

This is the problem with these campaigners, you give in to one and they just move on to something else.

gosh I was gonna say that the name change was diabolical.. but I don't quite like 'cheer'..
stand up for your cheese.. trump the opposition.. and buy Australian..
Dont buy australian. buy the best value product for yourself.
Who are your political opponents? What an odd thing to say.
Stephen Hagan is nothing short of a self-interested fraud.
Bega just pissing themselves at the trough of cash heading their way without them lifting a finger.

“Political opponents“ people you argue with publicly but privately support their right transfer the people’s wealth to their donors and to murder Yemenites.
Will it seriously make any difference?

s**t name for s**t cheese, moving on
I don't even the like the cheese, it sucks.
Poor old Mr Coon though, worked hard establishing an iconic well known brand only to have someone get offended that's what his name is and people buckle to the vocal minority. There goes his legacy.

He didn't establish the brand
A company named it after him because the processed they used was developed by him.
He's no guru in the cheese industry either fwiw (doubt he's even remembered in America)
