Opposition Leader Peter Dutton had confirmed he would only display the Australian flag as prime minister, as he has in opposition, opting not to replicate Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s trio of the Australian, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags.Speaking to Peta Credlin on Sky News last night, Dutton said he was “very strongly of the belief” that we should be “united under one flag”.“We’re asking people to identify with different flags, no other country does that,” Dutton said.
Asked about Dutton’s confirmation on Nine’s Today this morning, Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth said he was “trying to get a headline”.“I think we can take a lot of pride in our history and the future of this country,” she said.“I think this is Peter Dutton just doing what he knows how to do best. Try and get a headline with no substance, no real policies about, for example, tackling cost of living or things that really matter to the Australian people.
