Flag Debate

As you all probably know the New Zealand flag might be changed. So for writing today we wrote about our opinions of someone changing or not changing the flag. I chose how someone shouldn't change the flag and gave reasons why.

Flag Debate

• It’s a waste of money (it could be spent on better things).

• We would have to change all the uniforms etc.
• History would change like ANZAC.
• 26m is just the starting money (it will end up to be a lot more).
• Kids can design it.
• John Key wants to make a mark in history.
• There won’t be confusion between NZ and Australia.
• The new flag represent NZ in a more unique way so we stand out.
• Around 50m will be spent.
• The flag will become more modern.
• Some people aren't taking it seriously.
• After the vote most of NZers might not agree.
• We shouldn’t change it if there’s no need.
• Will make NZ stand out from other flags.
• NZers won’t want to change it.

Don’t You Dare!

I am writing this to persuade you that changing the flag is a disgraceful choice to this country. Your decision will be the very vote that burns the old flag to the ground. I am shocked by your vile decision to change such a beautiful part of our history. The flag has been flown many times for our country and it is horrid that you would deny a history that so many New Zealanders fought under.

Your abominable decision should be outcast from the voting. The dreadfulness is inexcusable and to even think of changing the precious flag would be an atrocious decision. I am truly and utterly revolted at your choice and know you will change.

The 26 million dollars shall be spent elsewhere instead of the nauseating effort of CHANGING the incredible flag that we (Kiwi’s) identify as home.

The alluring flag has so much uniqueness and to change it to a disastrous shoddy flag is abominable. Therefore I am trying to tell you that your decision (which is shocking) will be a shameful decision to this country. This flag that stands tall and proud will never fall. You will change and you will LET IT FLY!
