Coalition vows to criminalise flag burning

The Coalition has announced plans to introduce stringent penalties for flag burning and the desecration of war memorials, aiming to protect national symbols and honor the sacrifices made in conflicts. This move comes amid growing concerns over disrespect towards national icons and historical sites. Critics argue it could infringe on free speech, while supporters see it as necessary to uphold national pride and respect. The implications of this legislation could shape public discourse around patriotism and individual rights in the country.
