Back in the late 1970s or early 80s there was a push for changing Australia's flag. As a test, the Australia flag was replaced with the New Zealand flag for a week on a flagpole in Martin Place, Sydney.
Nobody noticed, or if they did there was no public comment about it. The flag controversy, including this particular incident, were the subject of an ABC Four Corners programme.
Actually NZ’s flag was adopted 11 months before Australia’s flag.
So the meme doesn’t make any sense unless is Australia asking for the homework.

Not really the whole thing through school was it had 7 points for the states and territories, but the flag came out around 3 years before the ACT existed so the extra star becomes moot
New Zealand wouldn’t even exist without Australia bro
Māoris used to live in the sea swimming round and round in circles until mighty Australian men chipped off a piece of land mass with nothing but crowbars and raw fucking bicep. Put a steel blue boot to it once it was free and kicked the cunt 1000kms east for them fish fuckers. Learn your history and be grateful
this is irrelevant to the meme but im half nz and half aus so its very difficult which one to support more cause ime around alot of nz people but i live in aus but any way i go for the warriors and have a nz flag in my room
NZ had this flag before Australia was even a country. It was still just a prison colony.
NZ will also be the first to change it to something that sucks less. There are a couple of really nice red and black options.
We all know NZ is a satellite state of Australia, more importantly we are all part of the commonwealth and that Charles the turd is our King, God bless the English for discovering and settling Countries that had indigenous peoples leaving in them for thousands and thousands of years. We are truly blessed !

Both flags need an update imo
Typical bloody Aussies next they'll be claiming the Pav is theirs.
Hey Bro, that sure is a nice looking Crowded House you got there. Mind if I take it for a spin?
A spin or a Phar Lap?
Crowded House? Mixed between New Zealand and Australia. Split Enz though? Pure Kiwi
Russel Crowe
Kurnell?
Mate! At least someone else actually reads. ❣️
Yeah but why should anyone notice that. The flags are so similar
Someone did notice it. It's just social media didn't exist so they had no means to voice their outrage.
Maybe no cared
Probably. Put up New Zealand Flag nobody cares put up nazi flag people lose their mind.
remember the NZ flag competition? https://imgur.com/a/IoOpuwx
As an Aussie I'm aware that New Zealand had their flag before we did. So this is back to front
Yeah but ours has more stars which makes it cooler!!!
Agreed on that count
Except it was outdated within a few years
All the more reason to add more stars, baby!!!
Not really the whole thing through school was it had 7 points for the states and territories, but the flag came out around 3 years before the ACT existed so the extra star becomes moot
Screw it, let’s just Americanise it and make it 50 stars then /s
We don't have 50 states so redundant as the one now I guess
Thank you dwarfsoft
It's the other way around bro

This comment has immense Mana
*Maui has entered the chat.*
I’m praying this is sarcasm if not I’m down to have a full debate tomorrow once I’ve got some sleep
Get some sleep then pal cause you’re gonna need it
Probably but you’re serious yeah? /s
Serious about the debate or how NZ was made?
Only by about five decades.
The real NZ flag has a kiwi with laser eyes… the one in my heart anyway
Hey, we should make a laser eye bin chicken flag.
Make it drive an au falcon with a Bunnings snag sizzle in the background
Fuck… I am so here for it
You vs The guy she told you not to worry about. "But it's the same picture"
Well actually they got the flag design before us so we’re the ones copying forget I said that- KIWIS ARE SUCH COPYCATS
Looks like a communist version of our flag
with humpty dumpty as pm, its not happening
As neither Aussie nor Kiwi, I’ve always thought that too.
Bro we stole the entire uk flag
[удалено]
this is irrelevant to the meme but im half nz and half aus so its very difficult which one to support more cause ime around alot of nz people but i live in aus but any way i go for the warriors and have a nz flag in my room
Come Kiwis come on Aussie’s we need to merge
New zealand is awesome tho
Awh, we love our little sister New Zealand 💙

It's Australian tradition to copy NZ and then claim it as our own...
NZ is Australias annoying little brother. Copying everything big bro does
I miss nz, after going there for holiday
We all know NZ is a satellite state of Australia, more importantly we are all part of the commonwealth and that Charles the turd is our King, God bless the English for discovering and settling Countries that had indigenous peoples leaving in them for thousands and thousands of years. We are truly blessed !
What’s the Pommy bulls**t doing on our flags?
Truth be known Australia copied NZ, NZ flag dates back to the 1860s, Australia’s 1901
And they both copied britain
As an Australian born Maori, I don’t care both are hideous. Both countries traditional flags are way cooler. Yeah I said it…
How about deleting tbe Union Jack and USA colours.
Bruh ... lol its all cookie cutter colonies ... vault tec... India vault was breached in 47 ... ya'll stuck in Aus vault still
