New Flag!

For the past few months the Government has been deciding what flag we should have to replace our current one. Personally I think the entire thing is a big waste of money and that our current flag is good enough but out of the 40 designs that have been selected I think that some of them are really good and these are my three favourites.




This flag is called the Black Jack and was created by Mike Davidson. I like this design because has the Union Jack but it still incorporates a Maori design.




This flag is called the silver fern and was created by Kyle Lockwood like this design because it still has the southern cross from our current flag and I also includes the fern, a proud symbol of  New Zealand.




This flag is called the Unity Fern and was created by Paul Jackways. I like this flag because it got all the colours from our old flag and it also includes a fern one of the most commonly known New Zealand symbol, the fern




This flag is called the Unity Koru and was created by Paul Densem. I like this flag because it includes the colours from our old flag and it also includes a koru in the middle which is one of New Zealand's native plants


All in all my favourite flag out of the all the 4 that I have written about would have to be the Black Jack because it incorporates a Maori design while still having our old flag's appearance.

Why we should change the flag

• Changing the flag would symbolize our independence from Britain
• The new flag would incorporate strong Maori influence
• Our current flag is often confused by flags of other countries especially Australia's.
• The new flag could symbolize a change for the better for New Zealand

Why we should not change the flag

• It cost taxpayers 27 million dollars even if we decide to keep our old flag
• Our soldiers in fought and died under our current flag
• Our current flag is a New Zealand artefact
• I like the old flag and so do 99.9999999% of people
