<p>well, it would be if you take out the July and May 2016 bits.... :negative:</p> -

<p>Postal referendum starts today.....any UK-based kiwis received their ballot papers yet? I registered a few months ago and haven't gotten mine yet.<br><br>
4/53 commonwealth countries still have the Union Jack on their flag (NZ, Oz, Fiji, and Tuvalu). Time to knock that down by one I reckon....don't care which alternative wins as they're all vastly better than the anachronistic thing we've currently got, and all have the added bonus of not looking like Australia.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'd go with black&blue fern/stars for choice though.</p> -

Your link has an expanded list including a lot of British Overseas Territories (BVIs, Anguilla, Pitcairn, Falklands etc) which aren't proper sovereign nations as they all get British passports. Most of those still have the Union Jack in their flags.</p> -

<p>TR Jnr told me his preferred options, the Black/blue one is 1 and RP at the bottom as it doesnt represent NZ and is just a triangle, also said the black/blue one was the fave when his class voted, and the black and white fern the second fave, and a class of 10 year olds had RP at the bottom, yet one spin of why it was good was so kids could easily draw it....</p> -

<p>But has he tried the all important "my kid can draw that" test? Surely that will change his mind.</p> -

I must have a 10yo mentality. RP too cerebral for me.<br><br>
Either that or there's a lack of red text in the current education system.
