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.
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
…and completely ignoring that a lot of countries are struggling.
Sounds oh so familiar…
More than a good chance. Albo’s paralysed with the fear of fucking it up, and has the unmistakable stench of a one-term government. Given the media and the oligarchs’ bias, it’d be a miracle if he scrapes through.
And Elon is going to jump into our election for our regulator trying to bring Twitter into line with Aussie community expectations. Albo has no charisma, of we’ve learnt one thing about Trump is that politicians need to change and stop counting numbers
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
Hang on lads, I’ve got a great idea…why don’t they create a new flag that represents everyone?
Blatant racism.
We have multiple flags where I live. There’s absolutely no confusion.
