I want to update the House regarding the flag above Parliament House. As I stated to the House yesterday, I understand and recognise the importance of the Australian national flag. I'm pleased to advise the process to replace the flag has been expedited. Weather permitting, protocols will be put in place to replace the flags within the next two days. Furthermore, I've requested a review into alternative options and contingencies should this ever happen again in the future.
