Thread: Now that's a flag!

    Now that's a flag!

    The Kiwis are having a competition for a new flag and they've narrowed it down to 40 contenders.
    Sadly, they omitted the one I reckon is the most original, which was a kiwi bird shooting a laser beam out of its eyes. That's gold!
    So, whattayoureon?
    NZ PM John Keys says he's sick of sitting under a flag that looks identical to Australia's. I know what he means. If the Kiwis choose a new flag, surely we can get something original too...please?

    You'd be hard pressed not to choose the silver fern on the black background style they have in that Collage of flags.

    When they find something other than the hopeless ones we've seen in all the other comps we've had here, maybe, gotta get rid of that Union Jack, I think that it's fine on a State flag, which the majority of states have, but I think as a nation we have outgrown the one on the national flag.

    A national flag depicting Whistlers Mother in her rocking chair would suit Oz fine. After all - we are the nanny country.

    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    I love the arguement that we should get rid of the Union Jack as it "isnt inclusive of everyone" and then tbey want to replace it with the Aboriginal flag?? Isnt that the same problem? Why not choose Italy or Greeces flag for the corner then?.

    I reckon NZ should change theirs then ours is beaut to stay with ...this is my opinion, if you disagree thats fine but save your breath tellingme it iswrong...its my opinion so i get tochoose that one free and clear


    Personally i think we change too much stuff that is alright and ignore lots that isnt...

    Don't get me started on this. Men and women died for our flag. So what if there is a small pommy flag in the corner.

    LEAVE IT ALONE!

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."
