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?

A flag is like a dress or a national dish - it reflects the personality and history of that country. It tells a story about us to the rest of the world. Just as one of the best ways to access another culture is through its food, a flag should give others an instant visual message. Lloyd's fern is a good idea, maybe too stylized for me but a good start. All NZers are desperately proud of their country and they should have a flag that reflects that pride.
