Flag Referendum a Good Idea

UnitedFuture leader Peter Dunne welcomes the suggestion New Zealanders could have a say in a referendum about the New Zealand flag.

Following today’s comments from the Prime Minister, Mr Dunne said “our flag must represent all New Zealanders and this election is a good time to ask whether it continues to do so or not.”

He personally favours a change in the New Zealand flag – to remove the Union Jack – but says UnitedFuture does not have a specific policy on the issue.

“We think it is up to New Zealanders to decide matters like this which is why a referendum would be a good idea,” he says.
