If Dutto wants us to unite under one flag, let's make it the Aboriginal one. I lived in NZ until I was 15, and to this day can't tell the difference between the (current) AU and NZ flags 🤷♀️
Peter Dutton’s Indigenous flag ban is disgusting politics with dangerous consequences
Even if you accept some people don’t like the idea of three flags, Dutton has shown callous disregard for community harmony by weaponising such unease.
