It was a pornography store. I was buying pornography.
I went back to the posts from when the longlist came out, and surprisingly no one mentioned Red Peak at all or included it out as one of the good ones they wanted to see in the final four.

Well, shit.
The main reason I like it slightly more than the others is that it looks like an actual flag, rather than a logo.

Red Peak is actually a good flag. It's distinctive, simple, inclusive, has a story and can have meaning beyond that story as seen by all the varying interpretations seen online. It functions as a flag that can be seen and recognised from a distance. It's a combination of the Tino Rangatiratanga flag and the Union Jack.

But why do we need the Union Jack at all? Isn't the whole point of changing the flag removing our ties from the old land and showing that we're our own country now? (Or that we now belong to america instead, whatever.)

Or is that part just all in my head?

So apparently Chris Brown is banned from Australia for Domestic abuse. Read the article and discovered that we've denied him a Visa for the same reasons.

... it's hypocrisy, right? Just hypocrisy? No reason to look deeper into this?

iirc we're pretty strict on letting musicians with convictions enter the country to play shows, other people have been denied entry before.

NZ immigration policy is to automatically refuse entry to anyone who has been refused entry to another country before.

All these photos people post that are supposed to be kind of reminiscent of the red peak flag look pretty nice.
Let's just use one of those as the flag instead of the actual design.

Pssh, children learning to draw a flag? All they need to know is JK's face. Our one true leader.

His face will bring them comfort as they lay starving in their mouldy beds and their parents go bankrupt from medicine they can't afford.

Just a reminder that the flag referendum is a special case in that there are no spending limits or requirements to report spending at all. So I hope you are ready for wall to wall flag ads and for saatchi to report a good quarter in their financials.

I'm guessing this from Brook Sabin? He based that figure on the cost of running parliament, ie money that would have been spent regardless. Democracy is expensive, I'm afraid :(
