*Synopsis | The Great Flag Debate (2023)*
Ray Martin is putting it right out there, he thinks' it's time we changed the Australian flag. Maybe you consider it disrespectful to say such a thing in a story airing on Anzac Day. But consider this. The reason our men and women fought, and in too many cases gave their lives, was to safeguard Australia's lifestyle and freedoms. And one of those freedoms is the right to have an opinion. When word got out that 60 Minutes was re-opening the flag debate, we were inundated with hate mail. And Ray copped some personal abuse, as well. People are that passionate about the issue - on both sides.
