The Australian flag is a coloured piece of rag. And should be treated as such.

I'm in two minds about this one; On one hand, burning the flag for malicious reasons or as an act of hatred (e.g symbolically burning the flag to indicate that you wish all australians were dead) is abhorrant to me, but on the other hand, I also believe that burning the flag in protest of something done by our government which goes against the spirit of the constitution or ignores a choice made by the voting public, should be protected.

Yes/No; the Australian flag should be treated with utmost respect, as with the flag of any nation, remembering that, whatever material it is manufactured from, it is and will always remain, merely an object.

Not illegal because it is somewhat 'free speech' but should be treated as a crime for the fire risk and danger that can cause if done recklessly.

If the country wasn’t currently a joke and taken seriously, if we stood for something and stood our ground, then i believe it should be illegal

 @9ZLWWTLanswered…1yr1Y

Yes. The Australian flag should never be burnt and those that do should be locked up. Other flags have no bearing to us

 @9V9PWPZanswered…2yrs2Y

if first nations people burn the flag it shouldn't be illegal but if you don't come from first nations people it should be illegal.

You cant Publically burn the flag unless you need to for safety regulations
