Lately, as you may or may not know there has been an on going nation- wide discussion in New Zealand about the New Zealand Flag Consideration Project. This project started when some people decided that they wanted to consider changing our current flag. You're probably wondering how this will work , well, over the rest of the year and next year, there will be 2 referendums, the first one, which will be held in 2015 will be when NZ citizens vote for their favourite new flag design out of 4 designs that have been selected by a special flag consideration panel. The second one, (2016) will decide if NZ votes to keep the design they have pre-selected or keep our current flag. There is, however, controversy over this project as it is costing tax-payers 26 million dollars and quite a few people believe we could be doing something that is more of priority with the money like improving our health system or looking at child poverty. Take a look at the top 40 flags and see which one you like best.
