Labor wants you to be ashamed of our Australian flag 🇦🇺
I want to begin by expressing my regret over Senator Dolega's remarks and the offensive implications made about coalition senators and members. According to Labor, it now appears to be an offence to proudly display the Australian flag.
I accept the interjection from Senator Dolega, who criticised some of us for having the audacity to drape ourselves in the Australian flag and show pride in our country. How can that be called dog whistling?
How dare Senator Dolega suggest it is dog whistling to be proud of our country and be proud of our flag.
Many people want to live in Australia because it is a great nation with one of the most successful migration histories worldwide. We are a proud migrant nation and a multicultural country, including those who have lived here for thousands of years—Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders—as well as those who arrived decades ago and recent arrivals.
Australia stands as a hugely successful multicultural nation.
Author's summary: This text defends pride in the Australian flag and highlights Australia’s success as a proud, multicultural migration nation.
