| Federal politicians spent over half a million dollars on Australian flags in the second half of 2014, according to parliamentary records.
If the quantity of flags were a reliable indicator of patriotism, Liberal MP John Alexander and his Bennelong electorate would be awash with national pride, topping the flag spending tally on $17,949, according to the Australian Financial Review.
Bob Katter is the second most fair-dinkum MP with a flag spend of $13,320 and National MP Bruce Scott comes in third on $12,236.
"I'm utterly ashamed of myself that I was number two. I have a lot of work to do," Mr Katter said.
