" I don’t think anyone in NZ would draw that connection…" but a nation's flag is seen around the world remember so it might be a problematic choice and there is also the white feather issue that has been discussed a few times
these are the images I was referring to Pasupial ( copyright notice at bottom of page) http://www.silverfernflag.org/store.html I was not aware the black & white fern was under copyright as well. ??

Excellent advice! Should be broadcast as a public service message to aid sustainable societal sanity.
Sorry Red, not going to play this game. :) but I will borrow from some words of others. 'First they came for the over-stayers, and I did not speak out— Because I was not an over-stayer. Then they came for the unemployed, and I did not speak out— Because I ...
if you have to ask that question, chances are you won't understand the answer
Descendant Of Sssmith, OAB is quite obviously paraphrasing John Key's recent remarks about TPPA protesters.
It is precisely because of the normal copyright protocol that I wonder why the obvious questions surrounding copyrighted images being included in the flag referendum process have not been addressed. If , as Draco suggests, the copyright is not expiring in ...
This is a screenshot of the Silverfernflag website as of 4pm today. http://imgur.com/JMRXznU I have highlighted the relevant information that suggests the copyright expires this year and also the information that shows how the stated copyright requirements...
" and his cheap, poorly designed logo has been chosen to go up against the New Zealand flag" No-one ever asks the PM why his preferred design is an existing commercial product with legal copyright. The media, and the flag-change supporters, never mention ...

With Truman out of his depth and people like Byrnes running around doing god knows what behind the scenes, it is little surprise that cool heads like Secretary of War Stimson resigned only weeks after the bombs were dropped. Then again, he was seventy ...
"... is generally why I don’t post on many right wing blogs." Oh, so it's not because your discussion points are little more than fetid flotsam when cast amongst others of your ilk? It must be difficult to swim strong in the seas of certitude when your ...

They are a part of the process of QT and we all grudgingly accept that. No matter how good an idea it might sound, to remove the government's allotment of questions only removes the opportunity for the rarely seen 'question of conscience'* from a back ...
