For hundreds of years, inverted flags have been harnessed as a signal of distress.
Hoisting the ensign upside-down was also a potentially covert way in which sailors might share that their ship had been taken by hostile forces and was being manoeuvred nefariously.
The United States Flag Code expresses the idea concisely, stating that a flag should never be flown upside-down,
“except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.”*
An Aussie here. I don’t think it’s photoshopped. Even the electoral office of PETER DUTTON - FEDERAL Minister of Defence - had our flag hoisted upside down. Just by looking at it it’s either Queensland or the NT. Vegetation and building type gives us a clue. Time to wipe the Union Jack OFF our flag and leave the Southern Cross ONLY. Then we can be ONE PEOPLE under the SOUTHERN CROSS, our position in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Union Jack is symbolic for the fact that Aussie laws are based on Common Law that has evolved since the days of Magna Carta. Getting rid of the Union Jack will only force Aus closer to China IMO.

How do you fly a British flag upsidedown?
I was wondering that earlier. My best idea is to write "top" on it before hanging it upside down.

Take a good look you’ll notice the George cross and St Andrew’s cross don’t line up diagonally , you can clearly notice on this Aussie flag here.
And Japan?
Ok....
I give up...
How ?
;)
Actually that's a legit question. For that particular flags design I do not know
I don't know, I just like to believe anyone who flies the UK flag is probably in distress anyway
This extreme over reach down under is such evil, vile, heinous behaviours that break my heart.
Have loved ones there. Missionary friends who came to the states decades ago to help spread the Gospel of Christ message.
I was blessed by being taught by an amazing, awesome missionary Brother Emil Watson.
Plz be ever mindful of these fellow Christian Aussie Patriots.
Fighting evil that is no longer hiding in the shadows

Maybe, being upside down will help the 'Jack slide off.

A lesson to be learned from Australia. Step 1) Law abiding citizens should never surrender their lawfully purchased weapons. Step 2) See step 1.
Sauce?
Without sauce, I have no real appetite.
So the French and Italians are always in distress?
That flag and pole look added to the picture, got a source?
"If"?
If they don't you better be prepared to destroy them.yourselves.
The whole picture is pixelated, that’s usually a result of scaling. Not enough overall evidence to suggest its doctored.
Idk, the very top of the building looks just as bad. I'm no expert though...
Yeah, that whole pole and flag look added in.
