1277816 2012-05-28 04:17:00 Yeah, I said it, What the hell is a Zealand anyway, and why are we the new version of it?

Incredibly weak name for a country, It doesn't represent us in anyway that I can see, How is that related to our identity?

We need to get rid of the flag as well, we are a pacific Island nation, Sure we are much better off then other island nations thanks to colonisation but still, we aren't little Britain.

1277817 2012-05-28 04:26:00 Zealand, the land of Zealots, we're the New one.

I voted the 4th option, might as well, it's all that happens these days anyways ;) Screw it, while we're at it, lets just let Hone decide for us, he's gonna make the most noise and throw the most %@#$ at the fan if he doesn't get his way, might as well just please him right off the bat...

1277819 2012-05-28 04:32:00 I would like to see a new "defining" document written up, That not only renamed the country, included the new flag but also defined all the persons in NZ as one people (in line with the ne-name of the country)

Get rid of the treaty, Its serving as a platform for racist policy.

Hell, call it Maori land and call everyone in the country Maori's, that would **** their rubbish instantly.

Special treatment for everybody.....lmfao.

1277822 2012-05-28 04:39:00 Zealand is an area of the Netherlands so i'm guessing the naming might have had something to do with Abel Tasman.

What's wrong with Metland or Independence land, I going with the second option

1277824 2012-05-28 04:45:00 Stink poll no leave it as is option.
The name probably comes from a place in Holland , seems fair since we were discovered by a Dutchman.
Pretty happy with the flag as it as well, I don't want a moaris one.
