Target: Julia Gillard
Region: Australia
Background (Preamble):
It is currently not a crime in Australia to burn the national flag. I believe it should be.

The burning of our national emblem not only incites violence and hatred but is an act of sedition.
Petition:
We the undersigned request the Australian Federal Government to make it a criminal act to burn the Australian National Flag.
