NZ to hold flag referendum in '16

NZ to hold flag referendum in '16
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-29812549

Quote:New Zealand is to hold a binding referendum in 2016 on whether to change the national flag.

The announcement by Prime Minister John Key of the referendum came after his government last month won a third term in a general election.

A panel of "respected New Zealanders" will lead the public discussion on potential designs for a new flag.

Mr Key has previously said he would like to see a new flag featuring a silver fern, on a black background.

That would be similar to the banner already used by many New Zealand teams such as the All Blacks national rugby union team.

"I believe that this is the right time for New Zealanders to consider changing the [flag's] design to one that better reflects our status as a modern, independent nation," Mr Key said.

I like it just fine, but I also like Australia's, and they look very much the same to this American eye.

It would look more badass if they changed it.
