澳大利亚联合党本周发布政策提议，要求将焚烧澳大利亚国旗和亵渎战争纪念碑定为犯罪行为1。同时，该党承诺推动立法防止澳大利亚日期在未经公投的情况下被改变1。这一举措标志着保守派政治中关于国旗政治和澳大利亚日期的长期辩论再次浮出水面1。
联合党领导层对国旗问题态度鲜明。2024年自由党领导人彼得·达顿曾表示不会站在土著旗帜旁边，认为同时飘扬三面旗帜"不必要地分裂国家"1。参议员杰欣塔·南皮吉帕价格则反驳称，总理站在三面旗帜前并非尊重的表现，反而是不尊重1。此外，自由党议员亨利·派克于2023年首次提出澳大利亚日期法案，并在2025年9月重新提起该议案1。两年前，达顿曾敦促"爱国的"澳大利亚人抵制沃尔沃斯超市，因为该超市没有为澳大利亚日期储备国旗商品1。这些政策主张反映了联合党意图通过国旗和澳大利亚日期等议题与极右翼一国党竞争的策略1。
Australia's Coalition party this week unveiled policy proposals that would criminalize the burning of the Australian flag and the desecration of war memorials, while also committing to legislation preventing changes to Australia Day without a public referendum 1. The initiative reflects long-standing conservative political battles over flag politics and the Australia Day date, which are increasingly being deployed as tools to compete with the far-right One Nation party 1.
The policy announcements echo persistent tensions within Australian politics over national symbolism. Liberal party leader Peter Dutton stated in 2024 that he would not stand beside an Indigenous flag, arguing that flying three flags simultaneously was "unnecessarily divisive to the nation" 1. Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price countered this position, asserting that "the Prime Minister standing in front of three flags is not a sign of respect—it is disrespect" 1. These disputes over flag representation underscore deeper divisions about national identity and whose symbols should be displayed in official settings.
The Coalition's commitment to protecting Australia Day from change without referendum support also builds on earlier legislative efforts 1. Liberal MP Henry Pike introduced an Australia Day bill in 2023 and reintroduced it in September 2025 1. Two years prior, Dutton had urged "patriotic" Australians to boycott Woolworths supermarket for not stocking Australian flag merchandise for Australia Day 1.
