Who's confused?
Every few years there is a boisterous campaign to change our national flag. First it was a red one, then a green one with spots, then a black one with a silver fern, and now back to a red one, which the Prime Minister likes.
Some, including ex-Governor-General Dame Catherine Tizard, say it is too easily confused with the Australian flag.
All I can say to this is they must be easily confused, and that I don't know of any Australians who want to change their flag for the same reason, or at all.
This time it seems Mr Key is deadly serious, and is going to spend $20 million designing a new one. Mr Winston Peters rightly calls this an unnecessary distraction. Not to mention the cost.
