1. Yes – great choice Richie!!

2. I agree with Emily. Fabulous choice Richie!!!

3. I don’t know about you guys I would choose to change the flag if the other flag (the new one) if it was any of the other flags in the semi final. I just don’t like the one they chose!

4. such a waste of 26 million dollars

5. It must be liked very much if the primeinister and Richie but I think the original flag is the best

6. bad choice richy

7. i say keep the old flag because many people have died for the old flag so stand for the old flag leave it be.

8. i don’t won’t the new flag

9. no because that will cost at least 4 million dollars

10. nah he should of picked the old flag.

11. i do not want to change the flag

12. i am to young to really vote so i will do it here i really love the new flag i wanted that one from the beginning cause its not similar from the Australia and it shows the uniqueness of new Zealand. that’s my vote who agrees with me here.

13. Keep The Old Flag!

14. Definetley a new flag for New Zealand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

15. Awesome Choice

16. go Richie chose the good flag.

17. Absolutely agree. The new flag is immediately recognisable as representing NZ and looks modern and very cool. Why continue to be confused for Aussies when we have our own proud identity!

18. I AGREE WITH MCCAW THIS FLAG LOOKS GREAT!

19. yea

20. Do you really want to waste lot of money on a flag?
    It should go to people that need money or hospital stuff?

21. Yes I think that a change will be good!

22. I do not agree because of all the money going to waste for a stupid flag. this flags not going to help lives is it all the money can go towards medical care and schooling. SUM: Just a waste of money.

23. I think its a waste of money like that money could go to people who live in poverty. I don’t see the point with changing the flag.

24. yea exactly right and the flag has all new zealands history behind it!!!

25. definitly

26. i vote for the new flag because it looks cool.

27. Wow 26 million dollars?! But still the new flag looks cool and The ausies flag looks almost identical to our flag

28. it doesn’t matter they’ve already spent 26 million dollars on this, and if they keep the flag its just a waste of money

29. I vote for the old flag to stay because we need the union jack to be part of the common wealth.Plus the aussies are going to change their flag soon.

30. Well Australia is going to change their flag soon so what is the point of changeing the flag

31. I disergree?

32. I vote for the old flag to stay because if other people don’t now about the flag change they won’t know it is new Zeland.

33. I agree!!

34. niether do I Quintin

35. i like the flag its good thanks for telling me

36. I don’t think we should change the flag i Think we should change John Key because he’s wasting the money we need to feed our children and money to help us .

37. I think NZ flag should stay the same because it will just be a waste of money if NZ changes its flag. NZ has had its flag since 1902 and all the history is behind it. I agree with Henry, Superman the awesome, Oom9, blabbermouth, Tessa123, sarah, hugh, hunterthehelmet, lol, Quintin, Deighton, Minecraft tiger cars on Cake and ice cream, cleo, Hopery, Matthew Onosai and Sierra. If the name you used in the comment is up there You’re Awesome

38. i think we keep the flag

39. I dont think we should change the flag

40. don’t change the flag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

41. I think we should keep the original flag because its just a waste of time if the Australians are changing there flag aswell

42. i disagree

43. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

44. why are we changing the flags enyways i dont like the new ugly flag

45. yes that sounds good

46. John key is changing the flag because he wants to be part of the history of NZ.

47. It’s about time we change the flag

48. I want to change the flag because it looks the same as Australia flag ._.

49. That’s what I thought.

50. I reckon it’s a waste of time
    and money if we don’t change the flag because
    they have already spent 30 million dollars
    to just decide which flag were going to
    have!!!!!!!!!!!

51. I disagree with changing flag I think John Key is just wasting monkey why don’t you take these flag money to the poverty kids? Anyways I still think the old flag looks better and the old flag presents our New Zealand histories. And why not the Australia people change their flag?

52. I agree

53. I still think that changing the flag is great to so at the moment I am sitting on the fence

54. How come all the kids say it is a bad thing the only reason these kids are saying not to is because most teachers back the old flag for its history and i respect that but why do we need a union jack on the flag if we want to stand out as a country why not stand out not look like the servants of the british. to me this is a good idea and i am ready for any arguing coming my way.

55. I don’t think they should because it’s a waste of money and they could use that money for kids and family’s that are homeless and have no food I mean the flag is important but I think the people in the world should always come first in life

56. i agree

57. I want the new flag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

58. I want the new flag!!!!

59. I agree??

60. Don’t change it. Our old one is the best. It does not matter if they look the same

61. i agree that we shouldn’t change the flag

62. Who would not agree with Richie . I think we should have changed it 15 years ago.

63. I agree

64. I agree with you Richie MCcaw.
