They choose to keep the old flag
Keep the current flag
A new design based on current national symbols
The Silver Fern on a black background
Something else
Good decision. Waste of bloody money changing all the flags.
I voted for the new one - thought it was quite nice. Surprised they chose to keep the old one to be honest.
Dammit-- I was hoping for a new one. Can never tell the difference between the Kiwi and Aussie flags
I think that's for the New Zealanders to decide. In this case they agreed with you. In other cases they may not.
I say it should be changed once and for all. Bite the bullet now and accept the cost. The return will be a refreshed image of the country. Canada changed its flag to rid itself of the union jack and there were few regrets over that. South Africa changed its flag post-apatheid and nobody complained afterwards.
