John keys new flag flies with white privilege.

Te aha tino toa says that the referendum flag has jumped the queue ahead of the Maori flag.

It took three years to fly the Maori flag from the Auckland harbour bridge from the time the group requested it.

By contrast it took three minutes for the decision to fly the referendum flag.

This country needs to appreciate it’s indigenous heritage says spokesperson Te Ao Pritchard. Government agencies should facilitate Maori aspirations. Not pander to John keys political goals.

The then transit NZ refused to try the flag initially as it only flies flags of ‘recognised nations only.’

Our position is that the referendum flag is not official and should join the queue behind the Maori flag
