Race-baiting Marxists are throwing proverbial poop at Peter Dutton over the Australian opposition leader refusing to promote Indigenous ethnocentrism.

Speaking with 2GB, Dutton said that if the LNP wins next year’s election, the only flag he’ll stand in front of is Australia’s National Flag, the blue ensign.

The move is in stark contrast to Labor Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s flag policy, whose optics elevated both the ethnocentric Aboriginal and Torres Strait flags to statehood.

Dutton told Ben Fordham,

“I think we can only be united as a country if we’re standing under one flag, to make sure we can live up to our values, and live them.

“Standing under one flag to me says that Australia is a united country.

“There isn’t any other country in the world that divides its people under separate flags.”

We should respect the Aboriginal and Torres Strait flags, Dutton cautioned, adding, “but we have one national flag.”

Patriotism vs Division

Fordham then described how Anthony Albanese’s three-flag identity politics policy has bred confusion, because “depending on the shot from where the camera is standing, you can’t even see the Australian flag.”

Responding, Dutton agreed.

“There’s no other world leader who does that. We should be very proud of our flag, and the history that it represents.”

This includes the post-second world war migrant story.

“They contributed to, and helped create an amazing country.”

Dutton added that he thinks we should be expressing a love for Australia more freely.

Embracing Australia Day and ANZAC Day, Dutton said, “We need to have more pride in our country about who we are, and our great Australian story.”

The opposition leader then asserted that Australia has cheapened its story of reconciliation, because there’s been a commercialisation of division.

Stating he wants to see “practical reconciliation” rather than virtue signalling, Dutton said he wants to see Indigenous communities succeed.

“Public servants in Canberra, thinking that they’re helping Indigenous communities by keeping the three flags flying, is somehow going to make life better for young kids in Alice Springs is nonsense.”

Dutton isn’t even Prime Minister, and yet the activists are already acting as though he is.

Some decided it was time to school the LNP leader by yelling, “That’s racist.’

Others, like journalist Paul Bongiorno, tried to accuse Dutton on X, of “stirring resentment for First Peoples.”

Another alleged Dutton was a “white supremacist, who was trying to divide Australia with their racist BS.”

Not far behind, one X user screamed,

“Dutton only wants to display a foreign flag. The Union Jack is foreign. The Indigenous flag is 100% Australian.”

Both responses summed up the incoherent Woke Marxist vitriol:

“Dutton’s a racist for not pushing our version of racism.”

How is Peter Dutton rejecting ethnocentric separatism causing resentment?

Special Treatment

Resentment is already here, because vain virtue signallers are pushing to justify division in this country on the grounds of “race”.

This resentment is a direct consequence of demanding special treatment for a select group of people based on ethnicity, not on citizenship.

Indigenous ethnocentrism calls for us to deify our neighbour, only if they’re a certain type of neighbour.

Welcome to Country and Acknowledgement of Country both force participation in this Indigenous ethnocentric exclusivism.

This is what Dutton is rejecting.

This is also what the “anti-racist” Woketivists are overlooking.

Dutton is rejecting a wholesale embrace of blood and soil politics.

He’s rejecting the notion that only some get to participate and belong, just because blood and soil determine their participation and belonging.

The Aboriginal and Torres flags are not the flags of a nation.

They do not bring a multitude of ethnicities together as one people under the banner of citizenship, along with its shared rights, privileges, responsibilities, and equal treatment before the law.

They utilise blood and soil as the measuring stick for who’s in and who’s out.

By contrast, the blue ensign – Australia’s National Flag – unites a people through a shared commitment to honour the rights, and responsibilities of citizenship regardless of ethnicity or melanin.

Its Union Jack, Federation star, and Southern Cross all represent a multiplicity of peoples, united under God for a common cause.

Opposition leader Peter Dutton has announced that, if elected, he would remove the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags from official press conferences held by the Australian government.

Dutton ditching identity politics – namely Albanese’s foppish flag policy – is a good step forward for the LNP.

As for the race-baiters, and Dutton haters?

Douglas Murray points out in his 2022 book, The War on the West, that anti-racists aren’t against racism.

They’re against the “wrong” kind of racism, which amounts to not being their version of it.
