We are of course, but we're also an independent country and here's our
chance to boost that image.

Despite being less than enthused by the new design, I'm also voting change.
This is the last chance - nobody will touch this with a barge pole ever againthe way it has been politicised.

There are only a couple of Dominions left with the Union Jack in their
flag.
And that 5th star can be difficult to see in any sort of a blow

On Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:12 +1300, Anymouse <someone@somewhere.com>It has not been "delicately changed" we have two official national anthems, approved by the Queen as she has for a number of other Commonwealth countries. All of us are free to use either or both as we choose.

I doubt it will be the last chance, but it has been made more
difficult by being botched this time. There has however been enough
interest generated that we are likely to see further possible designs
put forward, and once one design gains a fair biof support, it may be
adopted as an option for the official flag in limited circumstances,
in much the same way that our National Anthem ha been delicately
changed.
- some groups still always sing God Save the Queen, and some
sing all verses of the cringingly worded God Defend New Zealand!
I hope it finally puts paid to any referendums being held other than
in conjunction with other elections, unless the issue if of very high >importance, which this one wasn't.
I will vote for the current flag, because I dislike the white feather >alternative, but I know others who like it and will vote for it. How
we came to get to this stage has nothing to do with that decision; but
like many I will be glad to have the referendum over and a decision
made.

You are right, but it looks like we might be stuck with the old bloody
rag.
