speech

Did you know that people did a survey and 78% of kiwi’s don’t want our flag to change?I believe we should not change our flag and by the end of this speech you should think the same! This is because all the money could go towards better things, not many people even want to change the flag and New Zealand is well known for the flag.

Key point 1

Firstly it will cost New Zealand too much money to change our flag. It will cost 25.7 million dollars just for the build up and then the whole thing will cost around 90 million dollars. I’m sure that we could use all of that money on better things like charity, maybe upgrading some building to make them safe if an earthquake hits, and some other things. Did you know that 26 million dollars could fund the entire kids can progame for eight years?It could also buy around 26 million free school lunches at an estimated $1 dollar each. Why are we spending the money on the flag when we could taking care of poor children?

Key point 2

It is certain that quite alot of people don’t actully want to change our flag. The RSA is trying to help not change the flag. There has also been some lack of interest because not many people have been showing up to the puplic meetings. And then there would be people who were born under the flag because some famous people like Billy T. Jones would basically just be fogotten. But if we don’t change the flag those people can be remembered forever.

Key point 3

NZ is well known for the flag.

NZ’rs would have fought under the flag and repersented it. For instance when we won the rugby world cup in 2011, everyone would have seen our flag waving around so they know what country we are. I’m also pretty sure that people who watch the olympics would know who we are based on our flag. This is because we have good athletes.

Conclusion

Overall we should not change the flag because it will cost way to much money, not many people want to change the flag and New Zealand is well known for the flag.
