New Zealand's Prime Minister favors changing the flag

[Platypus]

I support the southern cross on blue for Australia, and the silver fern for New Zealand.

While I quite like having the Southern Cross in it's current position and the left half of the flag simply left blank, like so:



...placing it in the middle would be OK.

which is another good reason to change the flags of Australia and/or New Zealand, especially the latter. If the flag is hanging in a particular way, it could be any British colonial ensign.

I think it ould be sufficiently unique in having such a dominant blue field as to be identifiable without the SoCro showing, and considering that the bast majority of interactions with the flag these days is in flat representations online/tv/etc (like, 98% of the time you see the Australian flag, it isn't being flown, especially outside Australia) I think this is one of those conventions that are nice in theory but not really important in the modern world.

If Australia ever goes communist, it would be with the Eureka flag , maybe the central star in red.
