"Peter Dutton has been accused of trying to start a culture war after he
claimed the use of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags was
“dividing” the country, pledging not to display the flags if he elected
Australia’s next prime minister.
The Indigenous affairs minister, Malarndirri McCarthy, accused Dutton of
seeking to “grab a few culture war headlines”.
“Peter Dutton is once again proving himself unfit to be prime minister,” she
said on Instagram.
“Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture is the oldest continuing culture
in the world, and I believe all Australians should take great pride in that.”
MP and former Indigenous affairs minister, Linda Burney, shared strong
criticisms on social media.
“Peter Dutton is the man who walked out on the apology to the Stolen
Generations,” she wrote.
“This is the man who gave no support to the referendum. He refuses to offer
bipartisan support on all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social and
justice issues.
“What else can you expect from a man like him?”"
