My question is to the Prime Minister. One of my constituents, an Indigenous man, named Mr Hedley Vogt, has approached me regarding an issue close to his heart. There are four flagpoles in this chamber and none of them carry the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander flags. We've seen over the last two days that language matters and action matters. Yesterday this House united to condemn racism and discrimination. In a continuation of that spirit and in the spirit of reconciliation and recognition of the history and culture of Australia's First Peoples, will the government support flying the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags in this chamber?
