Only as part of a malicious act.

No, it is not a priority

No, the expectation of reverence for one's own country and the "honour" placed on patriotism can only lead to xenophobia

No but if this happened it should be investigated to determine the intention. Then decide whether it was an offensive act or not.

It should be considered disorderly behaviour and condemned but in accordance with free speech people still have a right to do so no matter how wretched it is

It should depend on the context of the burning

I'm a traditionalist & our NZ Flag is what defines/identifies us as a people & country & it should be illegal to burn it - that type of action disrespects what our forebears did by paying the ultimate price during Gallipoli, WWI & II, in Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia & of recent times in Afghanistan etc.
