How can this MP remain an active member of the Australian Government if he disowns our national flag. A flag that represents Australia in conflicts across the world. I cannot believe that this action does not disqualify him from holding such a eminent office of Australia. He should loose his seat in Melbourne automatically, disowning our flag is an act against all Australians and act against the parliament of Australia..What is so wrong with our flag ?conflating our flag with indigenous fights is a false flag issue. Nothing about our flag improves the plight of indigenous people today..only real action to give power to the communities so they can self determine their future.
Every senator and every member of the House of Representatives shall before taking his seat make and subscribe before the Governor-General, or some person authorised by him, an oath or affirmation of allegiance in the form set forth in the schedule to the Constitution.[38]
The Schedule to the Constitution contains the wording of the oath and affirmation:
Oath
I, A.B., do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Her heirs and successors according to law. So Help Me God!
Affirmation
I, A.B., do solemnly and sincerely affirm and declare that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Her heirs and successors according to law.[39]
NOTE - The name of the King or Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for the time being is to be substituted from time to time.[40]
Well said James. When are these idiots going to listen to the likes of Jacinta Price and get sensible about what is needed for your native people. The superficial symbolism of a flag when you're doing nothing to help these people and you have no serious positive suggestions? Pageantry theatrics and nonsense talk that Jacinda would be proud of. Pinkos called Green people getting confused over issues they know nothing about is a very dangerous thing and is more divisive than inclusive in the end. People the world over are very quickly now seeing through this tokenistic crap for what it is.

As much as this angers me, it breaks my heart. Bandt and his ilk are a disgrace and hypocrisy writ large.
