Peter Dutton won't stand beside Indigenous flags at press events if elected prime minister
Liberal leader Peter Dutton will not stand beside the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags at press conferences if he becomes prime minister. Some Indigenous leaders say it is a level of "pettiness" they never expected.
Summary
Australian opposition leader Peter Dutton stated he would not stand beside Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander flags at press events if elected prime minister, arguing for unity under a single national flag.
Dutton called the use of multiple flags “confusing” and divisive.
Indigenous leaders and critics, including Mick Gooda and Minister Malarndirri McCarthy, condemned the stance as divisive and dismissive of Indigenous cultures, which are represented by official Australian flags.
This follows Dutton’s history of opposing symbolic Indigenous measures, including the Voice to Parliament referendum.
Since his listing what flags he won't stand next to, I guess you have to assume anything he doesn't list he's willing to stand next to. Right? Doesn't that follow? So what flags is a cool with then?
arguing for unity under a single national flag.
One flag, one volk, one fuhrer. I heard this one before.
He's always been one of the most racist members of parliament. He threw a tantrum and boycotted the apology for the stolen generation during his early days as an opposition front-bencher.
If you are confused by seeing multiple flags you should not be PM
Blatant racism.
We have multiple flags where I live. There's absolutely no confusion.
If you're elected prime Minister, then the world has officially ended so do what you want you dickless fuckhead.
He's got a good chance. All he needs do is say "are you worse now than 3 years ago," while not providing a better solution than what we lived through
Certainly, we're going to have Musk and Murdoch pushing for Dutton to get in and our dumbass populace will buy whatever those two media networks are selling as usual.
Yeah, seems most people have forgotten that inflation was already over 6% for the quarter when Liberal left office in 2022. Labor didn't cause the problem, they inherited it. And they helped start to bring down inflation within 6 months.
I'm not saying Albo and Labor are a godsend, but Liberal are a far worse choice. The Libs blew over $50 billion on the NBN screw up and Snowy 2.0. And their nuclear power project is already looking to easily exceed that.
Yeah, those indigenous people should stop being confusing by having a flag and go back where they came from! Am I right?
You guys need to stop being divisive when that's his job!
Hang on lads, I’ve got a great idea…why don’t they create a new flag that represents everyone?
South Park is leaking again
I dunno. The first half was the original Italian Job.
