Persuasive writing by Sarah

Why New Zealand shouldn’t change the flag?

Twenty six million dollars is a lot of money. Twenty six million dollars is an exorbitant amount of money and it is being wasted on changing the New Zealand flag. The money could be spent on improving houses in New Zealand. Maori and Pacific Islander houses have poor ventilation and they are damp. This causes asthma and other health problems. It affects adults and children’s attendance at school and work. It cost the government more money in Medical costs. Surely you would agree that we could use twenty six on improving Maori and Pacific Islanders houses?

New Zealand has had it’s present flag for decades. People throughout the world recognize the New Zealand flag. By changing the flag,it will confuse people all around the world. people throughout the world will not be sure which country the flag belongs to. The present flag is part of  New  zealand  heritage. Only a fool would want to change the New Zealand flag .

The present flag has the British Union Jack on it. This demonstrates close ties with Britain and their contribution
to New Zealand. By changing the flag,it will be disrespectful to Britain.
In the persuasion I have provided you with adequate reasons as to why New Zealand shouldn’t change the flag. New Zealand didn’t copy Australia. Australia copied us. By changing the flag,it will be disrespectful to our ancestors. Our New Zealand flag was created by Maori Chiefs. I trust that I have convinced you as to why New Zealand shouldn’t change the flag.
