Have your say: Keep the flag

We should be proud of our national flag.

Can anyone tell what's driving John Key, for a change of our national flag?

The flag we can be proud of.

Why should we even consider changing the flag that is known world wide and has served us well?

Who else wants to change it? If there is any to be a referendum, it should be to decide if we want a change.

And that referendum should be binding or will it be ignored like others have been?

Mr Key is quite prepared to waste $28 million on two referendums, but cannot give more than a 25 cent increase in the minimum wage, while the "independent" higher salary commission, thinks MPs should receive a hefty pay increase. I don't hear anyone in Parliament refusing to take it.

This so-called rock star economy might be great for those at the top but it is not helping those who need it most; families, small businesses and wage earners. Time for Kiwis to wake up and speak out and not just take whatever is handed out. Let's all keep the flag flying and show John Key we are proud of it.
