On Saturday, February 28, I saw the proposed new flag flying atop the Takitimu Drive flagpole. With scarcely any red in the design, the flag presented as a very dull and unimposing mish-mash of black, blue and white high up there. Our flag needs red for impetus and vibrancy. For goodness sake let's vote to keep the existing one!
