Hard News: The flagging referendum, in reply to linger,
younger respondents (under 30y.o.) are more likely to favour keeping the current flag
Could be waiting for something worth upgrading to? They do tend to have been exposed to more sophisticated design language their whole online lives than previous generations ever saw. Put the aoteatowel alongside anything by Apple.

Legal Beagle: The flag referendum:…, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
Have another look at the longlist of flags designed by actual designers, and compare it with the samey lot that the fleg panel published. And that's with most professional designers abstaining because of concerns about the process.

Legal Beagle: The flag referendum:…, in reply to Paul Brislen,
this is it for a long time to come, possibly for ever because the need for a flag is pretty much nonexistent.
Beyond sportsing, I don't see it getting much use either. But then I just do not care about flegs myself. Never have. Like our Ben, I won't be voting. I may be washing my hair instead.

Hard News: So what now?, in reply to Marc C,
there are some areas that need more legal clarifications. Council admit themselves, they need to look into this more closely and get back to the Panel.
Council only has until tomorrow before they are due to give evidence.

Hard News: So what now?, in reply to Marc C,
May be business as usual for the panel, but certainly not for council witnesses. The last paragraph of the Judge's response is crucial:
The presentation of evidence by persons who appear as experts must be in accordance with the Code of Conduct for Expert Witnesses. It is essential that a person giving expert evidence does so on an independent basis, and not affected by the position of the submitter calling that witness.
In other words, council's expert witnesses can not ignore the updated evidence that councillors threw out. The panel is not allowing council any leeway.
According to para 15 (c) of Council's memo to the panel:
Council witnesses (except for a small number who are not affected by Council's change in position) msay be placed in an untenable position where they are not able to comply with their obligations under the Code of Conduct for Expert Witnesses and support the Council's Resolution.
Because Council defined so many of their changes as out of scope, they have little left to talk about.
