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.

I've always been respectful of people who say that this flag should stay since that's the one thousands of Kiwis gave their lives for in service for this country. But I tend to agree with the belief that what they gave their lives for was New Zealanders' rights to live free so they can make their own decisions about anything, including what the flag should be. I support a referendum simply because this argument has been going on for years and it's time the people, not the politicians, have a say once and for all. Now some of my best friends are royals but I'm sure the Queen won't be upset, there's plenty of other countries with the Union Jack on it.
