The Member's point about places of worship is interesting. I do not see anything in the Bill that suggests that a person who complains about a flag outside a place of worship would have to be a member of that congregation or place of worship. Anyone who passed by that flag and deemed it inappropriate could complain about it, even if there was consent from the place of worship for it to be outside. The Department would still have to consider that on the same basis.
