NO PRIME MINISTER, THE PEOPLE HAVE NOT SPOKEN (Letter to Dom Post, August 24)

 
No, Prime Minister, the people have not spoken. Thousands of people have never attended a rugby match in their lives and will not be distracted from the real issues by Juvenal’s ‘beer and the big match’.  

Thousands of people go bush and know silver is the fern’s backside, so that’s actually a bit of a cheat. 

Thousands of people go to church on Sunday to revere the Cross, which is represented in the New Zealand flag by the Union Jack. 

At least, Prime Minister, you picked the right colour. Black, to represent all the women consciously or unconsciously in mourning for their babies killed before birth, all the babies battered to death after birth, all the students drinking themselves into stupor, all the men dying in ‘Correction Facilities’ like Mt Eden. 

As for your new flag being ‘worth billions’, Prime Minister, the question is, to whom?
