Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he has told Adam Bandt to “reconsider” his position after the leader of the left-leaning Greens refused to stand in front of the Australian flag at his press conference.

Prior to Bandt’s press conference in Sydney on Monday, a Greens staffer sidelined the Australian flag but left the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders flags in the front and centre.
