NZ Flag Getting Changed

I strongly disagree the NZ flag should get changed. Firstly, a lot of money is going into it and there are many better causes that need to be addressed. Secondly, our flag represents us as it has for many years. Finally, so many men have lost their lives serving under this flag.

Twenty six million dollars is a lot of money. How could the government justify spending that much money when there are children walking to school in the rain with no shoes, no rain coat and no lunch or homeless people and families with very little money.

We have had this flag for a very long time so this is a global icon. Children have been growing up knowing the flag as theirs. This flag now represents our history as a nation.

Many soldiers served and died serving under this flag. We have had this flag all through world war two. 12000 people lost their lives under this flag, changing it would be disrespectful to them.

 

I strongly disagree our flag should get changed.  We have had it for so long why change it now?  The first meeting about changing the flag was highly unsuccessful as very few people showed,  obviously it's unimportant.
