Criminalise the Burning of the Australian Flag

Protect Our Flag. Protect Our Nation.

The Australian flag is more than a piece of cloth.
It represents our people, our shared values, our freedoms, and the sacrifices made by generations of Australians who fought to defend them.

Yet we are increasingly seeing the deliberate burning of the Australian flag used as a political stunt — an act designed to provoke, divide and demean the nation we all call home.

That is why as the Federal Member for Capricornia, I am calling for the burning of the Australian flag to be made a criminal offence.

Why Protecting The Australian Flag Matters

Burning the Australian flag is not peaceful protest, it is a deliberate act of desecration that shows contempt for our country, our veterans, and the values that unite us.

Australia has strong laws protecting other national symbols and institutions. Our flag deserves the same respect.

This is about:

    • Standing up for national unity

    • Respecting those who have served and sacrificed

    • Sending a clear message that hatred and division have no place in Australia

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to destroy the symbols that bind us together as one nation.

Stand Up for the Australian Flag

I am urging the Parliament to act, but change starts with you.
