First of all, great interrogation by Senator James Patterson. This Woke - As woman is a traitor to Australia. Man, as soon as I saw her 1800's hairstyle, I saw exactly what type of woman she really is. She looks like a witch. Listen to all her very careful answers, she's trying very hard to not shoot herself in the foot. She already has. Where do all these Ridiculous Woke people come from?
Thank you Senator Paterson for raising this issue. The flag should remain after all they are Australian Public Servants and the people of Australia pay their salaries.
Do you realise that politicians on all sides have decided without the authority or opinion of Australians to give Australia three formal flags? Australia is the only country in the world with three formal national flags. The aboriginal flag represents less than 3% of the population while the Torres Straits flag represents 1.45% of the population. The pathologically lying, corrupted and thieving politicians decided that Australia would have three national flags. An embarrassment.
If she considers this acceptable she needs removing . If she doesn't bear allegiance to the flag of Australia then she doesn't deserve the job representing us as Australians. Get her out .
This woman is a disrespectful idiot, we don't pay her 900k to informalize the Department of Home Affairs. She needs to go and without compensation or pension.
It is a Government body which in itself infers formality and is there to perform a range of very important and specific tasks for Gov. Its whole premise is about formal decisions and actions. Hiw can 1 person in a department be able to change something like this without consultation?

Remove the flag, yet acknowledge country and indigenous contributions before EVERY meeting. This country is having it's identity reshaped before our eyes
Senator Patterson goes straight to the point. He puts faith back in the concept that the big parties (Liberals and Nationals) might not be utterly devoid of sense. Although you do wonder how many conversations like this one are had within the coalition party rooms?! The sad thing is, while Senator Patterson and a few others demonstrate there are still patriotic and sensible politicians in our parliament, the majority of Liberals and Nationals I could absolutely see having no problem with, if not outright supporting, the Department Secretary on this topic.
And this official gets paid how much to make this sort of woke decision & then offers complete bs answers to questions about it? We have our own swamp here in Canberra that needs draining!
And Paterson's is to waste his time, her time and of staff etc. asking what is basically an irrelevant series of questions. Take a look at his website and his photo on the Parliamentary website, surprise no flags, there are none on any members photo. Even better try Albo's website, not a flag to be seen, as with Dutton.
@selwyn500 no we don't. That is not uniting. It is dividing. By continuing to divide a nation cannot grow to its potential. The best way forward would be to have a new flag incorporating the 3. Entirely doable. However, there is a class of people in Australia that want to cause havoc with division.
@suzannestrong9748 recognition of Indigenous people's of Australia is hardly divisiveness, if recognition isn't afforded the Indigenous people's then Australia stands for a history written by whites for whites acceptability of their own stories and without inclusion of Indigenous people. Please don't feel threatened by flags that represent the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's. All Australian's should feel proud of our Indigenous people's history.
@selwyn500 WOKE bullshit. Do you see any other country fly 3 flags? Yes recognition for sure but stop trying to shove it down our throats. It causes hatred. Wake up.
Whilst researching local candidates for recent Council Elections I noticed the AEC had the Aboriginal & TSI Flag however no Australian Flag. When questioned why & I felt it was concerning that a Australian Electoral Office didn’t promote a flag for the country it represents. This was the response I received “ it’s to recognise & acknowledge both Aboriginal & TSI as people’s - when noted, as an Australian Citizen that votes in this country I found it disturbing & discriminatory to Australians that vote. Response was I’ll take that on file as feedback & directed me to a link where I could also provide feedback - NOT GOOD ENOUGH! Nothing will change it’s pure tokenism. POOR FORM !
There is a line between "less formal" and "cultural reform." Please elaborate on these "cultural reforms" you've been "working on". Her responses to straight forward questions are bordering on disrespectful and not transparent. What has removing the flag to do with her "cultural reforms?" "Small issue" to her... big issue for Australians. We should be informed.

I think she wants UN , China, WHO, flags. Where was she born? Does she not have any pride in the country of Australia, that pay her money. Is there anyone standing up for our country ??
Excellent James 👍👍👍
WHAT THE HELL. This is madness. It's the Australian home of affairs.
Sack her!!!!
and she smiles and smirks throughout. FFS woman.
What a disgrace!
A very good sequence of questioning. James would be a competent Home Affairs Minister.
Remove the flag, yet acknowledge country and indigenous contributions before EVERY meeting. This country is having it's identity reshaped before our eyes
I reuse to have anything to do with this farce I don't need to be welcomed to my own country.
Senator Patterson goes straight to the point. He puts faith back in the concept that the big parties (Liberals and Nationals) might not be utterly devoid of sense. Although you do wonder how many conversations like this one are had within the coalition party rooms?! The sad thing is, while Senator Patterson and a few others demonstrate there are still patriotic and sensible politicians in our parliament, the majority of Liberals and Nationals I could absolutely see having no problem with, if not outright supporting, the Department Secretary on this topic.
'A SMALL MATTER '! PRIDE IN AUSTRALIA
Disgusting!! Any politician that won't stand in front of our national flag, doesn't deserve to be a politician!! 😠😠😠
Correct…
@@Zeemutt01 irrelavent. she's a public servant not politician
Paterson has one behind him?
That includes bandt!
@@daniel-bg5nqyes a servant who has forgotten her place and must go.
And this official gets paid how much to make this sort of woke decision & then offers complete bs answers to questions about it? We have our own swamp here in Canberra that needs draining!
Our Flags are important and should not be erased
Disgusting behaviour by the traitors of Australia 🇦🇺
Keep up the good work 👍👍
Well done James. It scares me that we have such bungling, incoherent bureaucrats running this country.
So her most important decision is to remove flags in photos.Seriously this department absolutely stinks
And Paterson's is to waste his time, her time and of staff etc. asking what is basically an irrelevant series of questions.
Take a look at his website and his photo on the Parliamentary website, surprise no flags, there are none on any members photo.
Even better try Albo's website, not a flag to be seen, as with Dutton.
@@user-tq4zm9yr6l no it was a minor decision she made. Its the senator who was making out like it was the only thing her department was doing
@@daviddou1408 Take a look at his site, he has the National flag in his profile picture...
@@daviddou1408 Peter Duttons photo on his webpage is taken in front of the Australian Flag!
@@daviddou1408 your point doesn't seem that valid
It’s a govt dept workplace and is a FORMAL place. Outside the workplace is INFORMAL.
Could our govt get any worse , we are seeing our great nation disintegrate in front of our eyes ,
More than happy to live off hard earned AUSTRALIAN taxpayers.
Shame on you. Sack her now
Dutton has to make it illegal for any flag but the Australian to be flown on any government buildings. One Nation one flag. We said No.
We have the right to fly three flags. The Australian, Aboriginal and Torres Strait flags.
@@selwyn500yeah nah never mate 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
@selwyn500 no we don't. That is not uniting. It is dividing. By continuing to divide a nation cannot grow to its potential. The best way forward would be to have a new flag incorporating the 3. Entirely doable. However, there is a class of people in Australia that want to cause havoc with division.
@suzannestrong9748 recognition of Indigenous people's of Australia is hardly divisiveness, if recognition isn't afforded the Indigenous people's then Australia stands for a history written by whites for whites acceptability of their own stories and without inclusion of Indigenous people. Please don't feel threatened by flags that represent the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's. All Australian's should feel proud of our Indigenous people's history.
@selwyn500 WOKE bullshit. Do you see any other country fly 3 flags? Yes recognition for sure but stop trying to shove it down our throats. It causes hatred. Wake up.
Thanks for flagging this.
SEN. J PATERSON...SPOT ON, LET THE PEOPLE LEARN THE TRUTH.....THIS IS INDEED DISGRACEFUL.....
Sack her for no patriotic nationalism
Disgusting excuse for a human!
Whilst researching local candidates for recent Council Elections I noticed the AEC had the Aboriginal & TSI Flag however no Australian Flag. When questioned why & I felt it was concerning that a Australian Electoral Office didn’t promote a flag for the country it represents. This was the response I received “ it’s to recognise & acknowledge both Aboriginal & TSI as people’s - when noted, as an Australian Citizen that votes in this country I found it disturbing & discriminatory to Australians that vote. Response was I’ll take that on file as feedback & directed me to a link where I could also provide feedback - NOT GOOD ENOUGH! Nothing will change it’s pure tokenism. POOR FORM !
Thank you for this info. Where is the link for those of us to lodge a complaint too ❤🇦🇺🦘

Penny Wong's woke DEI buddies!
They all display woke arrogant behaviour fitting for Swamp creatures
There is a line between "less formal" and "cultural reform."
Please elaborate on these "cultural reforms" you've been "working on".
Her responses to straight forward questions are bordering on disrespectful and not transparent. What has removing the flag to do with her "cultural reforms?"
"Small issue" to her... big issue for Australians. We should be informed.
Strewth mate this is absolutely sick! This sheila should be sacked ASAP!
They all accept the australian taxpayers money and the perks to go with it from the australian taxpayers dont they !!!
@@gaylesherburn6726 yep, it's a waste of taxpayers money for patterson to waste so much time on this
@@daniel-bg5nq pointing it out?
