What is wrong with being true to our anglo-saxon roots as indicates by our existing flag?
Then we should allow immigrants to substitute the Union Joke with the flag from their home country so everyone can be true their roots

I hope the Kiwi's do change their flag because it will hopefully embarrass our politicians into starting the ball rolling in Aus.

Re: New Flag For New Zealand?

Might as well; the values and traditions behind the flags are just about gone. What was once treason, perversion, larceny and foolishness are now revered, even mandatory. Turn the coats, have a ball.

Re: New Flag For New Zealand?

Although interesting, there appears to be no relevance to cruising therefore thread closed.
