QuoteFiji Will Drop Union Jack From Its Flag, Premier Says
New York Times
HONG KONG — Fiji will replace its national flag this year to remove symbols of British colonialism, Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama announced Tuesday.
Upon independence in 1970, the Pacific island nation adopted a flag closely modeled after its colonial-era banner, with a British Union Flag in the upper left corner and a shield with symbols including the British lion and the Cross of St. George in its right half.
"They are the symbols of the colonizer — Britain — a country with whom we are friends and will continue to be so," Mr. Bainimarama said. "But they are not symbols that are relevant to any Fijian in the 21st century. And they should go."
The Union Flag, also known as the Union Jack, appears on the flags of a variety of territories and provinces, as well as a handful of national flags of former British colonies. One of those countries, New Zealand, could drop the Union Jack from its flag pending the outcome of two referendums, to be held this year and next.
Mr. Bainimarama said Fiji would begin soliciting citizens' suggestions for a new design with "indigenous and truly Fijian symbols of identity." He said he hoped the final result would retain the existing "Fiji blue" background but remove the Union Flag and colonial shield.
A government-selected citizens' panel will choose a final design, with plans to complete the process in time for Oct. 10, when Fiji marks 45 years of independence.

Pretty well exactly what I think of it (or, "a naked person's legs, wearing a maple leaf instead of the more traditional fig leaf").
Needless to say, it was a flag chosen by a committee - a fact that belongs on one of those "demotivator" posters.

Only the Battle Flag because it was used by the KKK and segregationists. Nobody ever has a problem with other symbols of the Confederacy because they are, indeed, simple relics. If terroristic lynchings were carried out by Elizabeth II then I guess I get it.
I can't think of any symbol of the old Confederacy besides the Battle Flag that still carries weight off the top of my head.

QuoteFiji Will Drop Union Jack From Its Flag, Premier Says
New York Times
HONG KONG — Fiji will replace its national flag this year to remove symbols of British colonialism, Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama announced Tuesday.
Upon independence in 1970, the Pacific island nation adopted a flag closely modeled after its colonial-era banner, with a British Union Flag in the upper left corner and a shield with symbols including the British lion and the Cross of St. George in its right half.
"They are the symbols of the colonizer — Britain — a country with whom we are friends and will continue to be so," Mr. Bainimarama said. "But they are not symbols that are relevant to any Fijian in the 21st century. And they should go."
The Union Flag, also known as the Union Jack, appears on the flags of a variety of territories and provinces, as well as a handful of national flags of former British colonies. One of those countries, New Zealand, could drop the Union Jack from its flag pending the outcome of two referendums, to be held this year and next.
Mr. Bainimarama said Fiji would begin soliciting citizens' suggestions for a new design with "indigenous and truly Fijian symbols of identity." He said he hoped the final result would retain the existing "Fiji blue" background but remove the Union Flag and colonial shield.
A government-selected citizens' panel will choose a final design, with plans to complete the process in time for Oct. 10, when Fiji marks 45 years of independence.
That's right Fuji, kick'em in the pee hole. Cast off the shackles of the empire.

No wonder Lord of the Rings was filmed over there. Looks like a flag for Sauron
Clearly a Gondor battle flag, imho.
Since I am living in New Zealand these days, I can attest that the flag debate has a complete farce. I'd be very surprised if the new flag got adopted, since there's a lot of opposition to change in general coupled with a significant of direct opposition to that specific design (which I also find pretty ugly). My gf (who's got Kiwi citizenship) voted for the "red peak" flag (which was only added into the mix after social media uproar), which I'd also prefer over any of the alternatives.
The RSA and other organizations are lobbying pretty hard to keep the flag and the whole thing is seen as a bit of prestige project for the very successful Prime Minister, signaling that he has run out of actual policy ideas.

Wow Bogh, good to hear from you.
All sounds swimmingly, New Zealand sound like a pretty cool set up. :)
Howdy, howdy. NZ is pretty laid back and good.
Did I miss anything substantial?
They should put a kiwi on the flag. The bird, not the fruit.
bogh! NZ is beautiful, I've been to Christchurch twice, love it.

No, Languish remains Languish-like; lots of denziens here have had children, but they too seek refuge here from time to time or particularly will they're chargng their clients billable hours. :D

This was my favorite from the open public submission:

Laser Kiwi FTW.
I'd like it better if there was perspective to see that the laser was coming out of both eyes. A laser coming out of one eye just seems strange. :D
But that's not how Kiwi birds work, though.

Laser Kiwi FTW.
It needs the laser beam to be strapped to the kiwi's head. :cool:
