Dear John Key,

My name is Cooper and I am a Year 6 in Stonefields School. I am a female and have the best friends that I could ever imagine. I am very curious about your thinkings and your thoughts.

I firstly think that the money that is going to the flag should have gone to charities like cancer or the poor. Secondly I think that we should leave the flag or change it to one of the old flags that would be much better. I also think that you should have listened to us first and gave us a option to change the flag to a new flag or a old flag.

Secondly what I know is that we are changing the flag because it was your decision and you think that it looks like Australia's and it does. I know that you think it is okay to change the flag, Why do you think that ? I also know that there were a bunch of flag entries. How on earth did you narrow it down to 5 ?

Thirdly I wonder if the people who created these flags are taking back what they did and started thinking that the money could have gone to something more then a flag like the people. I also wonder what you John Key was thinking in the first place to waste all that money and a dumb flag that we already have. Did you think wise enough or were you just goofing around? I have so many questions. I Cooper hope you have read this letter personally and not let your helpers do it for you. Please do write back or call me in.

Yours Sincerely

Cooper K

Dear John Key,

My name is Holly I just moved to Stonefields and im 10-11 years old I love your support for New Zealand and I will talk about how I like and dislike the flags. I just want to say I would like younger people to be able to vote for the flag only because it's gonna be our future flag , The older people voting aren't  going to be here much longer and it's gonna be new world with it.

I love the new flag , and how we have black for the New Zealand teams but honestly I don't like it that much because we have had the anzac's march under the New Zealand flag and stand for our Island. I wish we didn't have the old one because it is so bland and kinda old. Honestly I would like a flag with the Fern underneath the Union Jack and the background a lighter blue.

If you had extra money I would say to help the poor by buying a massive plot of land and build a homeless hotel. It will help the street wanderers and maybe there would be less accidents. It will save lives and you will be a very loved Prime Minister.

Yours Sincerely

Holly . C
