Part 4/8:
It is noteworthy that Susan Lee once supported a more nationalist position during the recent election campaign, notably when Peter Dutton stated he would only stand in front of one flag—a statement that garnered controversy. The apparent shift in her position has raised questions about whether her recent support for Indigenous symbols is genuine or a strategic move to appeal to a broader base.
Political Reactions and Leadership Signals
Opposition figures, including commentators and party members, have responded with mixed reactions. Some praise Cash and the WA Liberals for their stance, viewing it as a bold call for genuine engagement rather than performative gestures. Others criticize it as dismissive of Indigenous traditions and their significance in Australian culture.
