I move:

That the Senate—

(a) encourages the flying of the Australian flag by Australian citizens;

(b) recognises the offence caused to the community when the Australian flag is disrespected; and

(c) calls on the Federal Government to legislate to protect the Australian national flag by:

(i) prohibiting the burning, or otherwise damaging or destroying, an Australian flag, and

(ii) defacing, defiling, mutilating, trampling upon, or otherwise desecrating or dishonouring, an Australian flag.
