Prime minister John Key's doodled vision of what a new New Zealand flag should look like is being auctioned for charity.
Key was asked to draw his version of an alternative flag by TVNZ's Pippa Wetzell on Breakfast on Monday morning.
By the time the programme went off-air TVNZ had already received a pledge of $1,000 for the drawing.
Key gave his consent for the drawing to be auctioned for charity
and it has been listed on
Trade Me with all proceeds going to Cure
Kids.
You can see the prime minister creating his doodle below.
The A4 drawing will be mounted and framed for the winning bidder.
Key described his drawing as a "silver fern". Wetzell said it
looked more like a "lop-sided Christmas tree".
What do you think of John Key's version of a new flag
for New Zealand? Do we even need a new flag? Leave your comments on

I think that changing our flag must come at the time that we become a republic. That time is not now though! Once that happens the Treaty of Waitangi will only be history, & we can move away from both the Union Jack & Tino Rangatiratanga flags. These represent only part of our society, as does the silver fern which should keep being used for our sportsmen/women.

Hey it's a flag about Momma Shark & Baby Shark. Ah well I guess we're a maritime nation..and we do have lots of predators....
