So John Key wants to change our flag – he voiced the main reason being its close resemblance to the Australian flag, that it confuses people as to which is which.

Strange that the Aussies do not have a problem with this and have never considered changing theirs. In fact the whole issue of 'Does the world know what the New Zealand Flag looks like?” is a weak reason for change.

How many of you know what the Spanish flag looks like or the Dutch, Belgium or Flemish?

My point is that if you have no direct contact with a country most of us would not know our world flags, so changing ours to be more noticeable is a John Key hoax.

It's the courageous actions of our people in all aspects of our country that has and always will make the world notice us, then they will recognise our flag. Our PM should be known as the Don, Don-Key for been such an ass in wasting time and tax-payers money. Surely supporting those who can put New Zealand on the world stage is a much better idea.
