Senator continues calls to criminalise burning Australian flag

Jacinta Nampijinpa Price is tripling down on her call for the burning of the Australian flag to be criminalised, and has called for Anthony Albanese to only stand in front of the Australian flag.

I think in recent times, a lot of Australians have been vilified and the suggestion is that they’re somehow racist if they take pride in who we are as a country and in our flag that represents us as a country. I find that our prime minister standing in front of three flags divides us.
