I am all for wanting to change the flag but I just feel it cannot be done. The problem is we will never agree on a replacement flag. Some people will complain that any chosen replacement will be offensive, too Maori, Not Maori enough, too tacky, too much of something, not enough of something else etc.
My feeling is we will have to live with the flag we have already got.
“The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled. Public debt should be reduced. The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled. The assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.” — Marcus Tullius Cicero
