I just wondered at mister Wildeblood's reasons for posting a picture of a flag he didn't even like?
(Fixed your punctuation.)
Any time I see some genius on twitter tweet a "Check out my new flag design, this should be our flag." message I copy it here. I don't discriminate between ones I like and those I don't.
As for broader context, there is none specifically. This is a subject that continuously rumbles along at a slow rate in Australia. The only thing making it any more topical than usual is the referedums going on next door in New Zealand.
wow, what the heck are they supposed to mean? i kind of get the boomerang but what are those circles supposed to be?
what the heck is that yellow dishtowel?
Arthur: OK. Leave this to me. I'm British. I know how to queue.
OR i could go with
Arthur Dent: I always said there was something fundamentally wrong with the universe.
or simply
42

I immediately saw a diagram of how to win at noughts & crosses, but no, it's the Southern Cross, just drawn in Aboriginal dot-style stars rather than European spiky-stars style.

Southern Cross again, with curved-spike stars formed by the spaces between the dots. The field and dots are a colour-reversed golden wattle, I think. Don't ask me why it's colour-reversed.

Looks like a serve case of someone wanting to be too clever. I never would have seen stars in it. It's less like a national flag and more like an optical illusion riddle. Although I have to confess I kinda saw a cross in it. I wondered if this might not be a new flag for Vatican City.

Almost exactly the same reaction I had.
After I got past the noughts and crosses, I quite liked the top one for the unusual colours.

The first referendum has finished, and the top contender is this (which I voted for as the best of a bad bunch):
Commander Ranthe: Flying the Anaconda-class transport Atomic Annie through Galaxy 2. Combat Ranking: Dangerous
"Big ships take more booty on your interstellar flights..."
sad but i think that a flag is too important to "settle for the best of a bad bunch" .
what are the trems of the referendum? what percentage of the population of NZ do they need to force a flag change?
