Text
You asked about flags displayed for the purposes of celebration and commemoration. That is made clear in clause 1(4)(e). Moreover, there is the online portal in clause 3, whereby the Department may be notified by people about what they have displayed, their reasons for doing so and their views on the display of the flag or emblem. That would allow people to explain why flags are going up. Do you know what I mean? Under that clause, a person can outline how a celebration, for example, is important to their community.
