Greens leader pulls controversial press conference move

Greens leader Adam Bandt has been called into question after his team controversially moved the Australian flag out of shot before he held a press conference on Monday.

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islands flags remained.

Mr Bandt has since defended the move, saying the Australian flag was a hurtful symbol to many Indigenous Australians.
