the flag's presence in press conferences is a symbol of division.
Breaking: Comrade Dutton now bans the use of State and Territory flags in his press conferences when he appears in those places. When questioned he stated Australia is undivided, and 'girt by sea'. when reporters questioned why he chose sea over the more appropriate oceans he mumbled something about lefty media always out to get him.. /s
I really hope you're right about that - a quick dive into the Facebook cesspit shows that there seems to be a lot of support for his nuclear potato plants.

Well he aint likely to be PM so not a massive concern. Think a hung parliament with a strong teal streak is gonna be far more likely.
people are gonna be voting with their wallets this election and I dont think "captain nuclear" has converted himself in glory in this department.
Plus, Harry potter is still alive FFS! dude cant get anything right!.

Hopefully he'll never stand in front of anything as Prime monster, he shouldn't be given the opportunity to hold the top job.
