Red Flag is an Australian newspaper which is published bi-weekly by the Trotskyist organisation Socialist Alternative.[2][3]
History[]
The first edition of the Red Flag was published on 12 June 2013.[1]
In July 2014, the newspaper was criticised after publishing an edition in which the front page had an image of the then Prime Minister of Australia Tony Abbott with a razor to his neck, with the heading 'One cut we'd like to see'.[4] In an interview, Abbott stated that the image "should not have any place in our public discourse".[3] The newspaper later withdrew the edition "citing "legal concerns"".[5]
