Red Flag (newspaper)


Red Flag is an Australian newspaper which is published bi-weekly by the Trotskyist organisation Socialist Alternative.

History

The first edition of the Red Flag was published on 12 June 2013.
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'. In an interview, Abbott stated that the image "should not have any place in our public discourse". The newspaper later withdrew the edition "citing "legal concerns"".
