This week, we take a look at referendum that polarised the country - Flag Referendum. Its a topic that divided communities, with people arguing the flag represented our countries heritage, and changing it would disrespect the the troops that represented New Zealand. In contrast, those for changing the flag believed we needed to move away from it’s colonial roots, and that our current flag didn’t align with New Zealand’s national identity. On top of the localised work place water cooler discussions, politicians John Key and Winston Peters used the media to communicate their perspectives - John for changing the flag, and Winston against changing the flag. We discuss these points and more in the latest episode of Unpack.
