your own communications on the matter
for those who have missed that joy, I commend rewinding Mr Hooton's twitter feed to Dec 11 and earlier. He does have a point about some people slagging the majority as stupid, but it isn't calmly made, let's say.

It doesn't. Guessing it would have cost him his job - which seems quite fair to me, given the nature of the offence.

Simon Pound describes an alternative process that could actually work, and concludes:
The good thing is we now have a chance to do this right. Vote for the current flag and then let's have another crack at this in a few years. While we are at it let's change our name to Aotearoa / New Zealand and perhaps get the people of tomorrow to make the choice, not the elderly and unusually politically involved that vote in postal referendums.
The people that will live with any new flag don't even use the post - that is how poorly this was conceived from top to bottom. One last thought: can you imagine changing the national anthem and having no musicians? That is what we did here.
We tried to change the flag with no-one with a fucking clue about flags or design anywhere in the mix and we got exactly what we deserved.
