‘Virtue signalling’: Aboriginal flag to fly permanently on Sydney Harbour Bridge
The NSW government committing $25 million to ensure the Aboriginal flag flies permanently on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge is another “pathetic attempt at virtue signalling”, according to Sky New host Chris Smith.
Mr Smith said the flag tends to alternate with the NSW flag, but a third flagpole is set to be installed by the end of the year.
“A $25 million gesture to apparently ‘close the gap’, we were told today,” he said.
“Close the gap? Maybe $25 million would be far better off spent on health, education and some basic infrastructure in regional Indigenous communities.
“That’s what closing the gap really means – it’s not symbolism.”
