Peter Dutton to 'work with the state government' to remove Indigenous flag from Sydney Harbour Bridge

Peter Dutton, the Federal Opposition Leader, has announced his intention to collaborate with the New South Wales state government to remove the Indigenous flag from the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This decision comes in the wake of the Voice to Parliament referendum, where the majority of Australians voted against the proposal to enshrine an Indigenous advisory body in the constitution. Dutton argues that the referendum result reflects the public's desire to move away from what he describes as "divisive identity politics." He believes that the presence of the Indigenous flag on such a prominent national symbol as the Harbour Bridge could be seen as continuing this division. Critics, however, see this move as an attempt to erase Indigenous recognition and presence in national symbols, sparking a debate on national identity, reconciliation, and the representation of Australia's First Nations people.
