Well, for interest here, NZ is debating whether to change the flag or not. From a multitude of designs submitted, a committee has chosen four which will be voted on against the existing flag in November. This referendum, which has cost the tax payer millions, has seen hot debate.

First we have the existing flag depicted on a stamp.

And these are the four possible options open to us to vote on with the option of staying with the current flag.

Whilst those new flag ideas look nice IMO this is just another huge waste of money by the NZ Government. I'll be voting to keep the old flag.
