Ban public servants and institutions from displaying political flags or insignia

Petition Details

Apply a blanket ban on any public servant or institution from displaying any political flag, banner or insignia not relevant to the performance of their office or public function whilst acting in an official capacity.

Additional Information

Public servants and bodies are supposed to be politically neutral. They should be impartial, particularly in relation to contentious or socially divisive issues. However it has become commonplace for public servants to wear insignia and for institutions to display flags or banners on buildings and on social media, demonstrating their support for causes not relevant to their public function. We believe this is inappropriate, especially when it involves the use of public funds.
