NZ confirms Silver Fern as flag referendum candidate
Summary
On March, New Zealand flag will probably be changed because the current flag is too similar whih Australia's and it is time to remove the Union Jack from the current one, said  Prime Minister John Key. 
Both flags are designed with the Southern Cross on Blue Ensign. Southern Cross means that the country is in the Pacific Ocean. Originally, Southern Cross is five stars, including a small star. In the New Zealand flag, small star is omitted. Four stars are colored with red. In the Australian flag, the Southern Cross is added with seven pointing one star and six stars are colored with white.
This time, the black, white and blue silver fern design was chosen by a referendum. A second referendum will be held in March.
