way to fold the flag for presentation or display:

displays the Commonwealth crest.
(2) Fold each side behind the displayed section at a ninety-
degree angle so that the display section forms a triangle.
(3) Take the section ending with the hoist and fold it at a
ninety-degree angle across the bottom of the display section and
then fold the hoist back over so it is aligned with the middle
of the display section.
(4) Fold the other protruding section directly upwards so
that its edge is flush with the display section and then fold it
upwards along a forty-five-degree angle so that a mirror of the
display section triangle is formed.
(5) Fold the mirror section in half from the point upwards,
then fold the remaining portion upwards, tucking it between the
display section and the remainder of the flag.
Section 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
