Veteran and Liberal MP Phillip Thompson says Adam Bandt is a “national disgrace” for removing the Australian flag from his press conference, calling the Greens leader a “spineless coward”.

“What we saw him do is an attempt to try and divide our nation,” he told Sky News host Peta Credlin.

“I fought under the Australian flag, I was wounded in Afghanistan under the flag, my mates who were killed in action, their coffins were draped in the Australian flag.Read More

This is only the beginning what we will experience from the Greens and others , the REAL “ the REAL ME” we been FOOLED by these left wing crap , it was only a matter of time , already seen or heard the radical so called sit down mob green member

MarthaThomas20 He’s right.

Sky is a national divide and rule Murdoch propaganda voice Go back to disunite the states of America

Just a silly boy really. So what Parliament was Adam elected to? Could have sworn it was the Australian Parliament?

What BS!

How weak is this little green nutter........Elections just finish and he says 'suck on that Australia'

This Green Communist hates Australia but like the big salary he receives courtesy of the taxpayer.

No issue getting the Australian $$$

They get very salty!

So is one of his candidates

No respect wasn’t taught as a child to respect people and activities should regardless of our personal feelings and beliefs

Who cares what this no-name brand says?

💯

Time for Brant to go.

He should return to his ‘tree’ and stay there.!!

No one really cares what flags they have behind them during press conferences . Find something useful to talk about or get outside and enjoy yourself.

His a little weasel

It's a fucking flag. A piece of cloth on a stick. Get some perspective.

Saving the planet but the flag. Get a grip.

Nope , he is hero

He’s making a stand on something he believes in. If this is considered ‘spineless’, what is Ben Roberts-Smith executing an unarmed Afghani farmer? australianwarcrimes

Agree, he obviously doesn't like himself very much.

Newscorpse is our national disgrace

Adam a word to the wise, you have a chance to do a lot of good in your present position don’t blow it by being a grandstander. Co operation and conciliation will win out every time for you and the public.

He’s actually not a spineless coward. Removing it he knew would cause outrage. He’s up for it. The problem here is Adan’s disrespect. It’s the nations flag till we get something better. With all that’s going on, he does this.

Will put ya snout in the commonwealth wallet though.

Bandt is all that and more and must be removed from Parliament which is not for Anti -Australians like this grub.

And PeterDutton_MP is a disgrace for, among other things, refusing to acknowledge these cultures as part of Australia. auspol

Fair call; seemingly a real turkey nuf’nnuf!

The confected outrage over a piece of cloth is amusing. Phillip Thomson should be more concerned about what the last government did with the DVA, of which he was a part.

I agree.

Greens are wreckers ?

Peter Dutton removed two gazetted Australian flags from his press conference and you had nothing to say. Why is that?

You got that right

Could have stopped at disgrace!!

Doing a controversial thing is not cowardly. You may disagree with it. I know I do. But it's not cowardly.

The Greens leader should stand down and remove himself from the Australian Parliament. He is NOT Australian. StandDownBandt Auspol Auspol2022

Beautiful words from Mr Thompson.

Hey ‘spine.less coward’ AdamBandt 🤡🤡 Many paid the ultimate sacrifice for OUR FLAG 🇦🇺 Respect it or QUIT your tax payer funded job!!!

Who cares. Abbott spoke in front of 12 flags and it didn't make him any more sensible.

🇦🇺 ❤️🇦🇺

From another Murdoch flying monkey protecting their master’s riches. The Murdoch playbook: Find an issue that can fuel conservatives with the hate & division they love. Lie - Rip them off - Repeat. Never care who you hurt. Australians must be better than that.

So AdamBandt doesn't have the freedom to be honest to his beliefs? This has really smoked out Type A conservative racists. The Type B are doing a great job of hiding that they are ripping of their sheep.

bandt its like dutton both removed flags that were placed there by labor.

Spineless? Jesus, people will say anything, won’t they?

Antman...

And he is right.

Lol - Jesus the guy moved a flag 😂- sky news this is news? The worlds ending - china is going to save it and this all you have? 😂

Spot on Phil

Yep, he's not wrong.

Should be expelled from the AUSTRALIAN parliament if possible.

This is why the greens will always be at the kiddie table petulant children not fit to lead

Im just saying if I see Adam Bandt out in public I might slip near him with a closed fist!

Seriously, how cucked is it having another nation's flag take up 1/4 of your flag. 🤣🤣🤣

Yet crickets on Dutton not displaying the Indigenous flags, piss off

Your reporting is a national disgrace! Right wing propaganda. It’s trash

Greens were once tree hugging, koala loving, dam hating, environmentally friendly protesters. What went wrong inside the green zone to start hating n cancelling out the national flag n blaming n wanting to punish 97% of the population for historical events ?

Absofuckinglutly agree

His Senate colleague Peter Whish-Wilson was in the Australian Army. What are his thoughts about Bandts stunt.

Labour and Joe Biden have one thing in common. They hate their Countries and want to destroy them.

There is nothing wrong with displaying all 3 flags. It’s a better display of our unity then taking one out. All peoples are important and the flags show each and everyone of us. I vote 3 flags !!

Yeah whatever

This is a party that had candidates supporting necrophiliacks and other sickest part of society. Nothing surprising can come out of their actions and mouth. Only sickos vote for them. NQR club.

I blame the F🤬W, who voted for him 🖕🏼

Still not coping with electoral loss and political oblivion ?

The LNP need to lose their sh!t over a flag because it means they don’t have to answer questions about the utter shambles they have left the country in.

Spineless is the greens middle name.

And those are his BEST points!

Skylies scratching around for inspiration 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yes he is

Imagine a lib being upset with someone? 😂

We should drop Adam the spineless, gutless coward in Katherine at about 11pm on a Saturday night. He might put the Australian flag back behind him once he has a real taste of the FNP.

And Dutton refusing the First Nations flag and who gives a fuk what some has been liberal thinks

We don’t care what some old Sky watcher thinks, they & SkyMurdoch protect failures, alleged rapists & corrupt politicians. An honest politician moves a flag. Big deal.

This is the quintessential image of wokeness

Yet, did you condemn your LNP mates for doing the same thing?

Absolutely 🤬🤬🤬

He’s the worst of the worst

Adam Bandt is doing this as simple attention seeking behaviour.

Bandt is a political activist posing as a politician. Much like our PM

Totally agree.

If we were at war, these people will give directions to the enemy..

1,795,985 Australians voted for the greens. I wonder how may would still vote for him know that he is unpatriotic and willing to spit in the face on the veterans that have bled for the flag 🤔

National disgrace is far too complimentary

Look at all the twitter warriors up in arms!! Change that damn flag I reckon,one that represents all australians and not just white Europeans!

You wouldn’t want to be in the trenches with this wimp.

OMG lets all listen to the RW sooks crying about someone and their free speech....

He accepts Australian tax payers money 💰 though,what a media hungry Muppet

it actually takes guts to stand by your principles

Yeah, how dare he envisage a future Australia not beholden to colonial values of destroying the land for greed and profit. It's like he cares more about the future generations than Pauline's fish and chips. 😤

If we don't get rid of the rot it will get rid of us.

If he no longer wants to be an Australian citizen then deport him to Christmas Island, where he can nominate his new country of choice to go.

Yeah he needs to just forget about the past! (Won’t forget about ANZAC day tho ohh no he won’t)

Well said that man! 100% agree. National Disgrace is letting him off lightly.

👍 agree
