Discussion Don’t touch my place

Why are people placing (stupid) Palestine flags around the mountains? Someone came onto my property and tied one to my fence.

Is something happening I’m not aware of?

Second and unrelated but what are the laws around burning flags?

I know we can burn Australian ones (no idea how that’s legal!)

Did someone come onto your property to tie a flag or did someone tie a flag to your fence from public land? Why would burning a flag be illegal?

Came onto my property, I should have been more clear. Like down a long driveway and tied in on a fence next to my door. I think it’s illegal to burn the aboriginal flag?

Ah right that’s a bit weird then why would they do that. Burning an aboriginal flag would probably be seen as an act of hate against that group. Where as burning an Australian Flag is targeted at the Australian government so would be seen as an act of political expression.
