I think it would be just considered an unofficial flag Doug, much like the boxing kangaroo one is.  Here is another;

Indeed the one on the right side top I like
but than what would I know, I'm still walking on wooden clogs

I Like that unofficial flag as well Vic

But I think it would upset many that fought under our flag if we would change it

Cheers John

Yeh, I won't get into that John, Ozzies fought under several different flags, but they were fighting for Australia, not the flag.  If ever it gets to a flag change for Oz (which I doubt) I suppose the population will decide, could be an expensive exercise if the Kiwi one is anything to gauge it by.   Best to just watch the Kiwi's and see what transpires with them, if they decide to stick with the status quo then they have spent a heck of a lot of money for nothing (other than the population deciding to remain with the current flag).  If they do stay with the current flag I can't see an alternative getting up for a very long time if ever.

Rocky makes some good points on one version of the proposed flags, never thought of it in that way.  

Trouble is the Koori flag does not represent Torres Straits Islanders or have the National colours of green and gold, the boomerang one does, there are some that say no particular group should be represented in a flag, it should be for all of us (if it ever comes to a flag change that is).

Here are a few different types being bandied around;

Maybe a Kiwi can answer that one.

How's this for Kiwi Pride;

Does NZ have the equivalent of our two ensigns (red & white)? If so, wonder if there will be new ones?

Hi KJ, do you know if their are other NZ Ensigns (eg Navy etc?).

Re the tattoos yes, they are very clever, I wonder who designed them.

I envy the Kiwi's pride in their country, leaves ours for dead in a lot of respects.   The cars I see running around in the suburbs with the Kiwi fern on them here in WA (and no doubt in the rest of Oz) look great.

G'day Vic,  "Yes" N.Z. has a number of other Ensigns, a different one but similar for each of the armed forces, air force, navy, and army,

here is a link which explains each flag..............

 Thanks KJ, that's a great link.   It will be interesting to see what they do with the others if they adopt a new flag in the second vote they have on the future of their flag.    I think in one of the articles I read on the possible change they said something about other existing flags will not change, but who know.    Anyway, all up to the Kiwi's, but I for one will be watching the outcome with great interest.

Yes, I will also be watching very closely to this out come, 

as I have already said, as I've been out of kiwi-land for such a long time, I am unable to cast a vote on this issue,

 So, Them other kiwi Blokes had better pick the right flag "AH"

Is this the Ozzie equivalent of the Kiwi Silver Fern ?????  

Is that a kangaroo laying an emu? or did it just fart?

Edit: Oops, I meant k1w1 not emu...

Here a another couple of unofficial Oz ones that are floating around, have to admit they are "different"....

Just found out, apparently they are based on a cricket ball (spinner) and here's silly me thinking they were based on LSD or Ice....

Ok, how about Head to Head, 93 games to Australia, 30 to New Zealand with 3 draws......see;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_vs_New_Zealand_in_rugby_league 

I hadn't really thought about it ,until you mentioned it Bruce,  "Yes" you are right, I also had noticed the Aussie flag flying in many places over here,  a Caravan Park is one place That stands out, the number of people who carry the flag with them, and make sure that it is the first thing that is raised after the Awning is pulled out.
