Flagged Out...
The New Zealand Prime Minister has decreed the country needs a new flag, so there's going to be a vote on one soon. So far the population seems to be not much interested in the idea ( 13 people turn up to first Auckland flag meeting ) or mad keen on it ( ten thousand plus alternative flag designs submitted. )
Sadly, a committee is going to whittle those thousands of flags down to four, that being the number the public gets to vote on. Then the winning flag has to battle it out with the Australian flag* to see who gets to be the future NZ flag.
At which point the country will proclaim it all a well-spent 26 million.
* Or one very similar to it.
