    Convicts vs Crofters. Blighty sent them there, we left of our own free will, a distinction not often recognised by the lefties but one of some significance to everyone else involved.

    Perhaps the question should be asked another way, why can't JK et al just decide which one we should have, would save 26mil that way...

    A nonbinding CIR not being binding doesn't mean there is not mandate for anything else ever btw.
    A CIR crystal clear mandate for what was voted on. Who actually decided it was non binding?
    As for the 25 million dollar cost, maybe you are right it would have only allowed us to bribe 2 Saudi's.

    if it was a pressing need to change the flag and people really wanted it or desired it it would at least have it own thread yet it is trapped in Stupid World what does that tell you.

    And calling negative equity the reason for any company's failure is a bit like calling rigor mortise the reason for a corpse's death. Nor did I go anywhere near SE, old news, boring when it wasn't.
    Explain to me how a countries flag is actually important at all.

    If you have any proof that changing the flag would benefit NZ to the tune of 23 millions dollars per year I would be very interested in hearing how..........

    Why per year? the next one will be good for another 50 years at least... so only 500k per year, just walking around money.

    Wow two threads 14 pages incredible
    But this guys knee sliders and Mossy's possibly hot neighbour racked up 8 pages in a day or so.

    Give me an honest answer is the need to go changing the flag as important to you as finding out how hot Mossys neighbours daughter actually is?

    It's the primary symbol of our country, it's as important as you believe that makes it.

    And I will tell you. Right after you prove to me that NZ would benefit to the tune of more than $23M from spending it on work or family related subsidies.

    Just pointing out it does indeed have at least its own thread. Might have more if this were kiwiflagger... Regardless, various polls have put the outcome of such a referendum as far from certain. So a question will be answered, you might see the answer as pointless, but.

    Fair enough then, carry on.

    I never made the statement though. You are avoiding the question.
    No one cares overseas what the flag is. Another nations flag is generally insignificant to foreigners unless it is being displayed after they have jackbooted their way over your borders.

    Answer the question what is more important to you.

    There should be a 'between'... or at least a 'than'... in there somewhere for that to be an answerable question.

    Look at the question in the post you didn't answer.
    I think you missed it as you quoted me before I finished it

    Perhaps if you ninja edit a question in, try reiterating it in full if it goes unanswered.

    But to answer it, yes, flag is more important. Which could be why it has been discussed on the news, while mossy's neighbour hasn't. Remember not to judge overall opinion just by one subsection eh!
