@_LordDerpington It’s been on repeat since 2016 😉 https://t.co/Z0u3G6iRgg

Appreciate the conceptual direction here but I have to point out it breaks the fourth rule of good flag design: no lettering 😜

@wellyflag If it’s not laser kiwi or just a picture of the hand with the words “praise be” then this is not worth it

@wellyflag @GarethMP As long as it doesn't cost the taxpayer 26 millon

@insidewelly @jackyan I never said scrub history. The reality is we can’t. It happened. But we don’t have to fly the worst parts on a flag pole to help people have pride in Wellington.

@JennyKayNZ Agree this flag is no longer relevant to current day Wellington. But as a person of Nordic descent, I take umbrage at the suggestion that the 1962 design has some intentionally dark overtone and that my cultural heritage is therefore somehow less worthy of acknowledgement.

#Wellington needs a flag that properly represents it and its people. Inclusive and diverse. Plus how about using funds for more council housing?

@FitzmauriceLuke @wellyflag But I like the yellow flag (minus the middle)
Can I see the yellow flag with the Taniwha in the middle instead.

I spoke to Kim Hill on @nzmorning about the origins of the current @wellyflag. #vexillology

Oh look, it's me talking about flags again. A few words from me in this article about the @wellyflag chatter that's started up again.

Yes Wellington, I think most of us would be a bit unconvinced by this flag and is not a great way to advance our partnership with mana whenua. https://t.co/zLpBt0Y1G1

The Wellington flag looks like the sort of thing that would be flown by the Deathstar. Except maybe the fish looks a bit friendly.

@thomaslebas @wellyflag @NZStuff Time for a new Wellington flag.

[Morning Report @NZMorningReport]

Wellington City Councillor Nicola Young is hoping to revive the use of Wellington's flag, even if she thinks it looks a little like Captain Pugwash.

Would you like to see it flying around the capital city?
