They fought for freedom

17/6/2015

0 Comments

 
Soldiers fought for the freedom of their family, friends, and country and not just for a flag, Troops in the two world wars generally rallied around the Union Jack, and not the NZ Ensign.

NZ troops in WWI generally served under the British Flag and in both world wars unit or formation flags were far more frequently flown than the NZ Ensign.

Originally the NZ Navy was a division of the Royal Navy until the RNZN was formed as an independent service on 1 October 1941 but the RNZN continued to fight & serve under the Royal Navy Ensign until 1968 when the NZ White Ensign was officially introduced.

The RNZAF became an independent service on 1 April 1937 but It continued to fly the RAF light blue ensign until January 1957. Since then several versions of the RNZAF Ensign have been flown.

They fought for Freedom - Lest we forget

In the event of a flag change, it would be legal to continue to fly the current flag of New Zealand, which is "recognised as a flag of historical significance." These flags can be flown any day of the week but would also be flown on days such as ANZAC day, and old flags would be replaced once worn out. Official documents depicting the current flag, such as driver licences, would be phased out as they are renewed - in the case of driver licences, this would take up to 10 years.

We think it’s brilliant that New Zealanders are putting forward their design options, it should be actively encouraged as it’s getting New Zealanders to think creatively about what symbols really represent us as a nation today, flags featuring the Silver Fern and Southern Cross appear to be a common theme in the design options being put forward, we think this is because these two symbols are found in branding all over New Zealand, particularly the Silver Fern, which has featured on military uniforms since the Boer War. There is no question that the Silver Fern is the most recognised symbol of New Zealand. For over a century the Silver Fern has been the emblem of our sports men and women. The Silver Fern is used extensively as a symbol by Government, tourism, trade organisations and commercial brands. it's on our money, it's on our passports, it even appears on our war medals and on the graves of our fallen. The Silver Fern screams New Zealand!

We have been given a unique once in a lifetime opportunity to democratically vote for a flag that truly represents us, let’s not waste it.  Democracy always costs, if we put the one-off cost of the referendums into the context of our $150b national expenditure over the two fiscal years of 2014-15 and 2015-16, $25.7m is a small 0.01% of total bi-annual government expenditure. put simply, if you divide the cost amongst every New Zealander it’s about the cost of a few glasses of fruit juice and a sandwich.

Referenda Process

For the first time in history, New Zealanders will have the chance to democratically choose our flag. The existing flag was imposed upon us by the British, and we believe the two-step referenda voting process is the right approach and is not a waste of time. Flags are visual things, not political party policies. If we are simply asked “Should NZ change the flag” the answer is going to be no, it’s a superior process when we choose alternative flags up front, How many people would buy a house or a car, a new dress or a new suit sight unseen? It’s only when you see a new one that you realise how really out-of-date your old wardrobe is.
