If Opposition Leader Peter Dutton wins the next election, he will stand in front of only one flag during formal press conferences, instead of the current three.

His decision will do away with the current practice under Labor Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who often appears in front of the national flag, as well as the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags.
