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.

We have one flag. Besides the other two are culturally appropriated.

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!!!

Huh

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.

A ploy to bring White Australia together at the expence of Indiginous Australian's identity....What purpose will this petty act of wedge politics achieve apart from driving Australian's further apart....The Idea Aboriginal and Tores Strait Islanders do not deserve representation by the National Government is disgusting and divisive....Typical Dutton???

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.
