Peter Dutton says he won't display Indigenous flags at press conferences if elected PM >:( >:(

The Opposition Leader has been choosing not to have the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander flags behind him during public appearances and confirmed on Monday night it was a practice he would seek to continue in top office. “I’m very strongly of the belief that we are a country united under one flag and if we’re asking people to identify with different flags, no other country does that, and we are dividing our country unnecessarily,” he told Sky News. “We should have respect for the Indigenous flag and the Torres Strait Islander flag, but they are not our national flags.” Mr Dutton said Anthony Albanese wanted “to be all things to all people” across a number of issues. “The fact is that we should stand up for who we are, for our values, what we believe in,” he said. “We are united as a country when we gather under one flag, which is what we should do on Australia Day.”

Good on him.
Unity is our strength.

Good - they are not representative of all Australians.

We have one flag.

Besides the other two are culturally appropriated.

Excellent.

That's a vote winner.  8-)

60% of Australians rejected the voice so Peter Dutton is playing the race card in the hope that the vote will be replicated in the next Federal election....What is the problem with displaying the flags of Australians who are part of our society....Dutton is trying to extinguish the identity of Indiginous Australians in the hope that most Australian's are as racist and out of touch as him....What a disgusting display of wedge politics Dutton has played on our fellow Australian's!!!

Not only will it bring Australians together, Phil, but it will also lower inflation, reduce mortgage interest rates, put an end to global warming (43 degrees in Perth today), and solve the housing crisis overnight.

Say what you will about Dutton - the "man" who used to kidnap Aboriginal children, drive them out into the bush, steal their shoes and then make them walk home (allegedly) - but he sure knows how to focus on the issues that are important to the average Australian.

::) ::) ::)

The 'KOORI' flag was STOLEN from an artwork by a non-Koori Aborigine Artist who said he did not want it as a flag, it was an artwork.
The Koori are just one tribe in the south who deem themselves to be 'the' tribe and their Flag to be the universal Aborigine flag. The MEDIA has gone along with all this and pumped it.

In truth, the Koori have become the violent equivalent of the ZULU in southern Africa.

Many aborigines DO RECOGNISE the Australian flag as the POLITICAL REPRESENTATION of this country.

If there was a flag for all industries, careers and ways of life pertaining to 'THE LAND' then that Koori flag MIGHT be it.

The irony or hypocrisy of the Aborigines claiming to be the people of the LAND, then using the flag as a POLITICAL flag, is pathetic, corrupt and just BLATANT BLACK RACISM.

That's the whole idea, Phil.

That's what conservative politics is all about - creating division.

Dutton and his fellow criminals have no desire to help Australians - they merely want power and money.

Load of croc Pecker Troll.
It's the Media that has cast the first stone of division.
It's over-achieved itself.
The Media, like you, should stick to Music and entertainment.

They have their own flag - the same one as every other Australian.  ::)

"Is it asking too much they are represented by their own flag.."

Yes...................... they are represented by the Australian flag - but if they choose to not be Australian citizens, they are welcome to resign that position.  Among themselves they may be represented by the false Aboriginal flag invented by some white guy... like a football team they can display their colours as they wish.... but it carries no special rights or privileges.

It is only right that Australia be represented by the Australian flag - and all others are just group flags having nothing to do with ....... ***rushing train** ................. sovereignty.

MY Aboriginal relatives feel the same - all this guff doesn't represent them.

What say you, Heroic Philperth - to a White Australia flag raised alongside as well?  And a Yellow and such as well?  We could have flagpoles all around Parliament House, eh?

A united country needs only one flag - divisive.

Let's have three different flags - unifying.



Madness. And look who's clapping for the madness. The usual pwogwessives who think division is unity:  Poison Pill Phil, Duckwit Duckshit, Panty Nappy Bbwian, Rape Fantasy Slovenian.

Why are the right so afraid of a flag ? Who cares ?

Remember the republic nonsense that went on, part of that was a new flag. Every man and his neighbours dog wanted a new flag. Now the UK based flag is so important to all of us. Don't get me wrong I support our current flag it is better than all the other options (one of the worlds great flags). I even personally think that the Eureka flag should be given a better status.

Highlight the full word 'NON-KOORI' rather than try to twist the truth of it.

I'm not ignorant (as your argument falls flat regarding the above mentioned).

I know the Harold Thomas story well, have for a very long time. Didn't need a wiki link back then.
Do you dispute that it was his wish that he did not want his artwork used as a political tool by the Koori?

Here! Here!

The so called Aboriginal flag is culturally insensitive, it’s the imposition of a non-cultural symbol upon the people.
The Australian Aboriginal people had no concept of a flag before the advent of the Europeans.

Edit. Unless the Moluccans had one.

They should take down the Aboriginal flag from the "Coat hanger" too.  :)

Kooris are just a group of mixed race Aboriginal people in Sthn NSW.

In QLD & Nthn NSW they call themselves Murris.

In Sthn WA they call themselves Noongars.

Fixed ....

and I know who want power & money

it isn't the LNP.

The Aboriginal & the Torres Strait Islander flags are all about race.

Yes, it is too much to ask on a national level. They are not co-sovereign.

Aborigines should accept the Australian flag because they are....er.... Australians.

Bollocks dickhead.

They are already recognised as Australians.

It retards like you that don't seem to get that ... what you're advocating is recognition by "race".

It seems they want to be seen as Aboriginals & TI's other to Australian.

And who recognised these as Australian flags?-- why of course a Labor Govt pushing its identity politics agenda.

The use of flags  by either group is cultural appropriation.

They are not co-sovereigns.

That's what divides the country you lumpyheaded numpty.

All he does is try the same old worn out lines over and over... his side are whining and wseeping and moaning - so when an honest broker points out that the snakes are trying to get it all in behind the people's backs and over their votes - he tries to make out that's 'crying'

It's a desperate last-ditch move.

It won't work, losers - the voice by stealth is going down as well. No 'treaty' entered into by a state government is valid.... and any agreement can be revoked..... and will be by the will of the people...

Yes. The only way to bring the Australian people together is to reject racism on principle.

Do you think the government should be discriminating on the basis of race?

Well maybe the Irish should join England, Scotland and Wales?
Or maybe Irish politics isn't about the responsibility of being at the top of the political pyramid over there, but more about being the living myth of the political 'race'?

Northern Ireland should become part of Wales.
England and Eire can't figure it out and plus a lot of good music comes out of Northern Ireland, with Wales being the musical/singing of the four. That should sort that petty mess out.

Correct.

" giving Indigienous people an separate sovereign identity and excess representation is racism but denying them their own flag is not".

They are free to hoist 'their flag' at home if they want - nobody is denying them 'their own flag', petals - but it's not a national flag and never will be - it can be accorded courtesy by being included lower than the national and states flags....

Crazy crap.

Nobody is denying their aboriginality or their representation.

The Aboriginal flag is a Pascoesque nonsense - they were not nations, they had no sovereignty, just as they had no agriculture or architecture or science.

Let them b ed Stone Age people. Do not try to retrofit 18th and 19th century European ideas onto Stone Age people. It is insulting to both Aborigines and Europeans and condescending to Aborigenes.

Why ARE you so stupid, duckwit? Really?! Is it the peas? Or just you, your purpose on this earth?




An ensign is a maritime flag that is used for the national identification of a ship.



Some countries like the United States and France use just one flag as an ensign and also as a jack, while lacking special cantons and transparent identification. All ships of the seagoing services of the United States Government except for the United States Coast Guard fly the national flag as their ensign, although the ships of some agencies also fly an agency flag as a distinctive mark.

Countries like Ukraine, Italy, Russia, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Japan use different ensigns. These are strictly regulated and indicate if the vessel is a warship, a merchant ship, a ship under contract to carry mail, or a yacht, for example.



Why ARE so stupid? Why do you enjoy being stupid? Must be a natural fit, a comfort.

Thank you for your display of uneducated, unedifying ignorance.

The Red Saltire is a cross, crosses in Vexillology are for martyrs, St Patrick died of old age and in bed.
Therefore the so called St Patrick’s Cross is a bit of bull, it is actually the Red Saltire of the Fitz Geralds, an Anglo-Norman family, the Irish emblem was the Harp, but it couldn’t be fitted to the Union Flag except in the centre, a dominant position, so the Cross of the Geraldines was ‘’borrowed’’ from the thoroughly un-Irish, Knights of St Patrick, and then it was ‘’broken’’ so that it fitted into the Union Flag [not, be it noted, the Union Jack]

Hope this little history lesson was helpful.

Edit. The Jack is the Flag flown on the’Jack staff’ . The short staff at the bow of a Naval vessel, thus the Union Flag becomes theUnion Jack as do all other flags flown in similar manner by any nation that is known as a Union, e.g. Union of South Africa, the Soviet Union, the USA [whose Union Jack is the Stars from the US Flag.]

Here endeth the lesson.

So what?

It's well known the crosses and saltires represent England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

The inter clan rivalries are another matter.

Who would expect a harp to be incorporated into the Union "flag"?

What happened was a reasonable compromise was it not?

##

Nobody cared about the Aboriginal flag or voiced any concern before Dutton made it a wedge issue to win votes....Now the Aboriginal Flag is divisive because White Australia feels offended....Racist arseholes with no substance what so ever....The flag hurts their pathetic feelings....Dickheads the lot of you!!!

::) ::) ::)

.

Decent people like my outstanding self thought that it was a good idea that it be given the courtesy (not 'respect') of being shown in conjunction with the Australian and state flags etc.  When Albo divided the country with this silly 'voice idea' - and then the states, under Party guidance, set about betraying the vote of the people by installing it bit by bit anyway - ALBOCORP Group Inc made of it a symbol of division, Apartheid, Segregation, and special preference (again).

Nobody is to blame for the way the 'Aboriginal flag' has fallen into disrepute, apart from those who pursued and still pursue that division and special preference.

It is unfortunate that there is only the LNP to oppose the madness that has swept the country with this voice madness - when the real people are more than aware that in reality they are little better, and have their own list of special preference groups and ideas.

We need a new party here to sweep them all aside.

Since Labor and the Apartheid movement - AND the 'Infitada' going on - swept the Aboriginal flag into disrepute - it is now only worthy of a place in the rubbish bin.

I didn't say anything about discrimination or persecution. You mongs are on about that. On and on and on.
THAT is way overdone, as well as all the boosterism, the endless talking up of Aborigines doing ordinary things as an achievement. It's tiresome,  patronising bollocks.

Do you feel the same way about the Nazi flag or the Rising Sun flag?

I mean, there were a lot of decent Germans and Japanese people in the 1930s and 1940s. But the Nazi flag has been condemned as a symbol of hate by people who were mostly not affected by the policies of the Hitler regime.

The aboriginal flag is being seen as a sign of racial division. Generally, I do not have a problem with the aboriginal flag. Except there was this one time I was dared to wear a t-shirt with an aboriginal flag shown. The local indigenous people saw me as confused. Some saw me as "brave". I got a few implied threats. Then there were the community leaders who knew me and had somewhat adopted me as part of the local tribe.

Obviously, the flag provokes the emotions of people it represents. I bet if the Indian supporters at the cricket started running about with the Australian flag, you would raise your eyebrows in concern about the meaning with what they were doing.

The local indigenous people saw me as confused. Some saw me as "brave". I got a few implied threats. Then there were the community leaders who knew me and had somewhat adopted me as part of the local tribe. Obviously, the flag provokes the emotions of people it represents. I bet if the Indian supporters at the cricket started running about with the Australian flag, you would raise your eyebrows in concern about the meaning with what they were doing.

Taking the piss out of the Aussies....I wouldn't give a crap....Why does anyone care if Aboriginal people have their own flag....Do you feel discriminated against when you see the Aboriginal flag???

Because it represents a race.

But like I already explained several times, the flag is merely a symbol.

Represents far less than the ethnic origin of the majority.  Then add in all the Anglo-Abos...

Aborigine Flag is a racist flag that EXCLUDES everyone else.

Just another Media (Americanised) gimmick to undermine Australia's political rise under the sponsorship and influence of British (Commonwealth) politics... which just happens to have succeeded, where Germany failed and is succeeding where France is failing and it will also succeed where Italy will fail. The Media is definitely anti-British, like a spaghetti western.  Look at how they've taken over the ABC from conservative to Americanised Woke Leftism.

As most people who identify as Aboriginal have some white ancestry, there should be a largish white patch on the Aboriginal flag.
Why isn't there one?

What a load of bullshyte

People have always cared about identity politics and division by race.

It goes against the whole "multicultural" mantra that the whole basis of Labor policy is based on.

It's Labor pushing identity & wedge politics.

Yeah I'll go along with that .... the Aboriginal flag is a culturally appropriated worthless piece of cloth.

Therefore it has no place beside the Australian flag.

The Aboriginal Flag is Racist.
It signifies a rejection of the rest of the nation.
Aborigines want everyone gone, so they can return to being like North Sentinelese islanders.

Harold Joseph Thomas (born 1947), also known as Bundoo, is an Aboriginal Australian artist and former activist, known for designing and copyrighting the Australian Aboriginal flag. He claims to have designed the flag in 1971 as a symbol of the Aboriginal land rights movement, and in 1995 it was made an official "Flag of Australia". After this, his assertion of copyright over his design was upheld by the Federal Court, eventually transferring that copyright to the Commonwealth of Australia and making it freely available for public use in January 2022.

So you don't believe Aboriginal people have been discriminated against because of their race....Yet you find a piece of cloth so offensive and divisive that it discriminates against you.....You really are a racist arsehole Freediver!!! [smiley=thumbdown.gif] [smiley=thumbdown.gif] [smiley=thumbdown.gif] None of that is what I said Phil. Are you having difficulty understanding the question? Do you think the government should be discriminating on the basis of race? Never....The Government supports Communities and programs to better the lives of many Australian's which is not discrimination it is making everyone's life better....When the Government tries to make people assimilate to one culture or belief it is control and stripping away peoples own identity....People are different with different beliefs does that make them racist....Or does refusing to accept any other symbol or belief other than your own make you a racist....Why is the Aboriginal Flag racist and divisive Freediver??? :-? :-? :-? The symbol is racially/culturally appropriated which is  is not part of their belief system you rabbit on about. Theirs was rock drawings/markings & self marking for war & ceremony. Keep trying dipstick.

Not me ... I'm just here to see how many quotes to quotes a page will take......   8-)

[smiley=thumbdown.gif] [smiley=thumbdown.gif] [smiley=thumbdown.gif] Do you feel the same way about the Nazi flag or the Rising Sun flag? I mean, there were a lot of decent Germans and Japanese people in the 1930s and 1940s. But the Nazi flag has been condemned as a symbol of hate by people who were mostly not affected by the policies of the Hitler regime. The aboriginal flag is being seen as a sign of racial division. Generally, I do not have a problem with the aboriginal flag. Except there was this one time I was dared to wear a t-shirt with an aboriginal flag shown. The local indigenous people saw me as confused. Some saw me as "brave". I got a few implied threats. Then there were the community leaders who knew me and had somewhat adopted me as part of the local tribe. Obviously, the flag provokes the emotions of people it represents. I bet if the Indian supporters at the cricket started running about with the Australian flag, you would raise your eyebrows in concern about the meaning with what they were doing. Taking the piss out of the Aussies....I wouldn't give a crap....Why does anyone care if Aboriginal people have their own flag....Do you feel discriminated against when you see the Aboriginal flag??? :-? :-? :-? They can have their own flag dickhead ..... but you tell me why it warrants being displayed beside the Australian National flag? And don't say because it's "law".  Phukwit Phil. BTW dickhead - it's the Union "flag" in the corner - not the Union Jack. A Jack is a flag flown on a naval vessel.

The Union Jack when on land or sea has been the official flag of UK since 1674. Either term can be used.


In naval terms the Jack is flown on the front of a ship, The Ensign is flown at the back. The Red Ensign is used by the merchant navy. The White ensign is for the Australian navy (RAN)

Light blue is air force.

Argh, aye - but national flag supercedes all others - no place for discussion of Aboritsi flags as national ..  they are what they are - poached egg yolk on half burnt red plate and The Days The Earth Stood Still robot...

Divisive, culture war politics continued by Dutton, emboldened by the US election outcome.

Who's surprised?

Speaking of divisive politics Mothra, do you think the government should be discriminating on the basis of race?

So you share John Smith's view that opposing racism is now a right wing thing? Do you also think the left is naturally racist?

The right are far more into identity politics than the left.

And the potential outcomes for the ways in which each group are "into it" vary alarmingly.

Like, your way is genuinely terrifying.

I think it is a storm in a teacup. But he is hopefully signalling that he understands a more fundamental shift in public attitude - that we do not support the government treating people differently according to their race. And we are fed up with corrupt, unaccountable, unelected aboriginal "representatives" who, surprise surprise, always seem to line their own pockets and never actually solve anything. At least, that is what I am hoping it signals. I don't really care about the flag itself, and wonder about people who do. Do you care about the flag Phil? As I am related to Aboriginal people I accept their place in Australian history....Is it asking too much they are represented by their own flag....If it doesn't matter why is Dutton making it such an issue Freediver....Why should Aboriginal people accept the Australian flag Freediver....Do you think this act will bring Australian's together by rejecting Aboriginal representation Freediver or you just don't give a crap about Aboriginal people who are all corrupt, unaccountable, unelected aboriginal "representatives??? :-? :-? :-?

Of course it's not. Everyone and even the ludicrous few who congratulate this latest shot in the culture wars Dutton is intent on playing knows that.

Dutton's latest is divisive and it's a dog whistle to the rejoicers of the failed Voice.

What really matters though is although this will make a few self-satisfied, maleducated arsehats feels happy, it will be really damaging on the ground ... and will actively hurt a significant number of people.

On the ground.

If you need to ask how, you've clearly not been paying attention.

I did not say it was Phil. Remember how I keep telling you the flag is merely a symbol? Do I need to repeat that in every single post so you do not forget?

I wonder, have any of those congratulating Dutton stopped to think what the impact may be on Aboriginal youth crime?

Doubt it.

Scrap that. I'm certain they haven't.
