If you've been watching John Oliver make fun of New Zealand recently you may have heard that we are having a referendum for a new flag.
Prime Minister John Key decided to spend millions to develop a new flag when most of us were okay with the current one.
We did have a pretty cool submission depicting a kiwi shooting lasers out of its eyes but of course, that one didn't make the final cut.
Unlike many countries, New Zealand allows non citizens to vote and so I was able to participate in this referendum.
It feels nice to have a say.
Just in case your wondering, I voted for the flag that doesn't make it look like we're part of the Republic of Cartoonistan.
