Not saluting this decision

I STRONGLY reject the official approval of the Greater Dandenong Council of the Vietnamese flag.
What implication does it have to officially recognise a country’s flag other than the national flag of that country?
I may write a letter to the Embassy of Vietnam in Canberra to seek further clarification!
What were the criteria used to recognise that flag? Will the same criteria apply to all other flags?
Something was mentioned about a “reasonable request”. What is reasonable to the council? Who can apply?
One argument was that the Vietnamese community had much suffered by coming to Australia and had much contributed to Australia.
As (in my opinion) the same applies to other nations as well, will community flags from other countries also be displayed at their “cultural and important events“ e.g. Bastille Day, Independence Day, Foundation of Turkey, German Reunification Day etcetera or are those events not “cultural or important”?
It was said that the flag will be displayed at “cultural and important events”. Can this please be clarified? A quick search on Google, the question “days of significance and cultural events in the world“ returned 141,000,000 results.
Will the City of Greater Dandenong now inform all other nationalities within the municipality about the option to have their community flags officially recognised and be displayed on “cultural and important events”?
If at any of those questions something different will apply than to the Vietnamese flag, isn’t that then discrimination?
In which order top to bottom will the flags be displayed if one or more events from different nations and community groups fall on the same date?
Do flags from sporting clubs also carry the description “significant and cultural”?
Gerhard Vervoorst,
Dandenong.
