New Zealand Flag Referendums Amendment Bill

Government Bill
Published date: 12 May 2023

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill amends the New Zealand Flag Referendums Act 2015 to provide for 5 alternative flag designs to be included in the first flag referendum, so that the flag design commonly known as Red Peak can be added to the voting paper for the first flag referendum.
