An idea for a new flag
Okay, it borrows heavily from the Canadian design, but it keeps the features of the existing flag while making it distinctive from the Australian.
The Union Jack is dropped, but replaced by the red on the left representing the British influence in creating New Zealand. The Red on the right represents Maori, and their influence in creating New Zealand. In the middle is the Southern Cross, which is also vaguely the shape of New Zealand on a 'sea' of blue, representing New Zealand.
I don't claim this as an original design, it's one I've liked since first seeing it in the late 1980's. One lone campaigner at that time wanted to change the flag for the Sesqui-centennial anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. The colours and what they represent are what I remember as his discription.
