Ah! nothing like a bit of flag waving when it comes to this far right mob. Nothing fires up these extreme nationalists with their xenophobia than to march around with a flag, in fact lots of flags. Was it not Horrible Hanson the Princess of Obscenity who draped herself in the Australian flag?

Good news for some, bad news for you mob, Victoria is going to ban the open display of the Nazi swastika, there goes your Sunday afternoon parade.

I've worked it out Issy wasn't referring to Hawaii when he said "HawIi", no "HawIi" is the promised land where all good National Socialists can go, and wave flags to their hearts content.

Seems that it wasn’t a political stunt but has been long standing Greens’ policy to insult the Australian flag.
Bandt has apparently had it removed before his other press conferences.
Bandt reminds me of Adolph Hitler but without the charisma.

A lawyer and lifelong advocate for the human rights of Aboriginal women and children, told 'The Australian' she had known Bandt since law school and that he had never shown any interest in Indigenous issues. Yet Bandt uses an issue he has never been interested in to insult our history and the flag that our countrymen died fighting under. And the awful creature will get away with it.

Say what you like Issy,

The Australian flag has be disgraced many a time, home and abroad, dragged through the mud by murderous mercenaries in such places as Korea, Vietnam and now we can add Afghanistan. Waving the national symbol whilst murdering innocent civilians.

I support the removal of the Union Jack, from the Australian flag, a symbol of tyranny and oppression of native people the world over, millions of innocent people were slaughtered under that flag in the name of colonialism, at least 12,000 Aboriginals murdered during the Colonial Wars of the 19th and 20th centuries, a small number of the total deaths caused by colonialism and government sanctioned genocide. The far right jackboot brigade always use flag waving as an excuse for their extremist agenda.

The Pommy flag on the Australian flag is just as insulting to some as if they put the Nazi swastika on the Israeli flag!

Poseidon Poles and Flags gave NSW government a vastly lower price to install Aboriginal flag on Sydney Harbour Bridge 650K
http://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/poseidon-poles-and-flags-gave-nsw-government-a-vastly-lower-price-to-install-aboriginal-flag-on-sydney-harbour-bridge/news-story/50ff37608ab4abace2727437bb6bb8be

Even 650k seems a little pricey in my opinion
- But at least its 24+ Million less than what Perrottet is willing to spend.

The thing that gets me...
They try to pull this crap on a day when this news also comes out.
NSW budget deficit more than triples to $11.3 billion
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-06-21/nsw-budget-deficit-more-than-trebles/101169652

- It's no wonder their budget blew out with this fool in charge.
I'd be willing to be that if it was coming out of his own pocket NSW would instead be in surplus.
I used to say these pollies must think we're idiots.
Maybe they've moved on and have simply decided that WE ARE idiots.
- That's all I can come up with.

Jacinta Price, an Aboriginal. MP who really fights for her people, rejects all that Bandt has to say about the flag, but then she’s not on the Aboriginal Industry gravy train.She is proud to be an Australian citizen and proud of our flag.

it’s no use engaging with dyed in the wool Greens as when they can’t find facts to back up their fantasies they blatantly lie.
