Remembering that red ensign version of current New Zealand flag is recommended to fly on occasions of Maori significance, I realised my flag should reflect the Maori-Pakeha bicultural identity.
So, I suggest the koru becomes red or background of the koru becomes red. I am not in favour of flying red ensign on land since it is customary to fly one on private vessels. Hopefully, my suggestions and union jack in the canton would be sufficiently red for a historically bicultural New Zealand.
