Change the NZ Flag

This is the site of the NZFlag.com Trust - a Trust established to promote debate about New Zealand's national identity and, in particular, about New Zealand's flag. We believe that the time has come for New Zealanders to choose a flag which represents New Zealanders as we see ourselves today - to respect and reflect our history as a nation, to represent us to others as we would we would like them to see us and, importantly, to carry us forward with our hopes and aspirations for New Zealand's future.

Why Change?

Max Gimblett, Painter
I am a proud New Zealander. We desire a flag that is us. That expresses to the world of Nations who we are. I wear my silver fern cap around the world. I want to stand by our flag and know that it is us, respected and standing for our steadfast values. I am a member of our New Zealand Diaspora and have endless opportunities to make the point that I am a New Zealander, as in the exhibition THE THIRD MIND at the Guggenheim museum. I have a painting and four etchings in this exhibition. Not only do I support this referendum of Lloyd Morrison's for a newly designed flag we may fly with honour, I have the strongest possible feelings about this endeavour. This time around I hope this referendum is passed.

It's time to change our flag

This site is intended to stimulate debate about the New Zealand Flag. We want all New Zealanders to ask whether the current flag represents our country as we see ourselves today? Can we improve it? Does it portray the image we want to give of New Zealand internationally? Most importantly, does it inspire us?
