Did New Zealand decided on which of the two flags they voted on? The Blue and Red, or the Blue and Black?

There was an overwhelming vote in favour of this design:

Before it becomes the national flag it needs to face another referendum in March when it will be matched against the colonial flag, (almost identical to the Australian flag and featuring the Union Jack). At this stage it's anticipated the traditionalists will have enough sway to stop any change.

I heard that, Hippy. If they manage to get it made official in March there's just a little hope that we can have our own Australian flag.

I think that would lead right up to a new flag for Australia.

Our current conservative Prime Minister is a republican (small r) but his party are basically royalists and will suck up to Mother England. I don't think we'll get a new flag in my lifetime, much as I'd like to see it.
