09:30 Flying the flag for Nine to Noon!
We couldn't agree on a new national flag earlier this year so we asked a vexillologist to help us create one for Nine to Noon. Ted Kaye, from the North American Vexillological Association's compiled the flag-design guidebook Good Flag, Bad Flag & came to New Zealand earlier this year to see our flag process take place. He was also the technical advisor to the national flag committee of Fiji. He talks to Kathryn Ryan about the five cardinal rules of flag design.
Email ninetonoon@radionz.co.nz with the subject line 'flag' to vote for your favourite, or send us your designs if you think you can do better. We'll announce the winner on Friday.
