We are united as a country when we gather under one flag, which is what we should do on Australia Day." Mr Dutton's latest election promise came a day after Coalition Indigenous Australians spokeswoman Jacinta Nampijinpa Price said she wanted to windback Welcome to Country ceremonies because they were "commercialisation of culture".

Dutton's announcement has sparked a debate on national identity, freedom of expression, and the role of cultural diversity in Australia.
