1370949 2014-03-22 06:59:00 Disagree.
The flag is dated and has no relevance to the country any more.
Although if they use a ****ing rugby flag I will be screaming bloody murder.

1370950 2014-03-22 07:24:00 if that's the best reason you can find for keeping the flag, it will be gone by breakfast time. Why the Aussies decideded to copy the weird piece of flapping flim-flam we adopted is beyond me. R2x1 (4628)
1370951 2014-03-22 08:26:00 Be careful what you wish for. Getting rid of the Union Jack from the flag may cause more harm than good. NZ is a Commonwealth country & the UK is morally bound to trade with us & help us if another country has a go at us.

Sure the UK is also part of the EU, abeit unwillingly bt the general public. If Commonwealth countries abanon The Commonwealth, then the UK will surely become closer to the EU. Will that be good for us.

Another thought. If no Queen as Head of State then Who.? President Key!!! PJ

1370952 2014-03-22 10:36:00 I would prefer the current flag to stay as is unless we become a republic. If the flag was to change I would prefer a 'kiwi' on it rather than a 'silver fern'. NZ Army vehicles display the white kiwi rather than the white fern which could easily be mistaken for the white feather of cowardice. I would hate to see us have a flag with a black background that resembled the 'Jolly Roger'. Bobh (5192)

What? Morally?
And?

They stopped buying most of the lamb and butter and stuff ages ago, it's why we run around sucking up to China and other countries now.

And if a flag makes a difference, well, how petty.

I'm with Key on this one, I like the fern idea for the flag.

1370955 2014-03-22 19:23:00 We should convince the Aussies to change their flag then there would be no confusion and it wouldn't give the loony lot in power the chance to waste another $20million gary67 (56)

Yeah, but I bet there were a few you did!!!

And what's wrong with a pirate flag? We've got Kim Dotcom, it makes sense :lol:
