Devaluing the Australian flag

As we saw during the Australia-wide anti-immigration rallies, and more recently during the clash between the Sumud Flotilla supporters and Zionists on Bondi beach, the Australian flag is now being associated with the far right, white Australia pundits and genocide supporters.

The words “terrorist”, “terrorism” and “antisemitism” have been devalued beyond recognition. Now our flag is subjected to the same.

Are you ready for the future consequences of that, Anthony Albanese?
