I seek leave to move a motion relating the Australian flag, as circulated.

Leave not granted.

Pursuant to contingent notice of motion standing in my name, I move:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent me moving a motion to provide for the consideration of a matter, namely a motion to give precedence to a motion relating to the Australian flag.

Senator Nampijinpa Price wore the flag in this chamber today, of all days. It is Australian National Flag Day. For 124 years since 1901, that flag has been flying. Yet, on this special day, it was denied by the Greens, who stood up and said that it should not be worn. It is not a prop. The Australian flag flies in our chamber.
