Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has accused the opposition leader of “always looking for division” after Peter Dutton said that if he is elected, he would hold press conferences with only one flag, instead of the current three.

Dutton made the comments on Sky News, saying it was divisive for the nation’s leader to stand before the national, Aboriginal, and Torres Strait Islander flags during official events.
