Labor Wants You to Be Ashamed of Our Australian Flag 🇦🇺
I want to begin by expressing my regret over the comments made by Senator Dolega, which included offensive accusations against coalition senators and members. According to Labor, it now seems to be considered offensive to drape oneself in the Australian flag and show pride in it.
"That is exactly what you said. You criticised some of us for having the temerity to drape the Australian flag around us, to be proud of our country. How dare you suggest that is dog whistling!"
Through you, Chair, I ask: how can Senator Dolega claim it is dog whistling to be proud of our country and our flag? So many people want to immigrate to Australia because we are a great nation with one of the most successful migration histories in the world.
We are a proud nation of migrants and multiculturalism, embracing those who have been here for thousands of years — Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders — along with those who arrived decades ago and recent arrivals. We represent a hugely successful multicultural society.
"We are a proud migrant nation. We are a proud multicultural country with those who have been here for thousands of years, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders; those who came decades ago; and recent arrivals."
Showing pride in our flag and country should not be misguided or insulted but respected as a symbol of unity and diversity.
Summary: The speaker condemns accusations against displaying the Australian flag proudly, highlighting the nation's multicultural success and rejecting claims that such pride is offensive or dog whistling.
