New NZ Flag referendum

At the moment New Zealanders are voting in a referendum to see choose our possible next flag. There are five all together. The winner will go up against the current NZ flags.

Of the five choices of flag, there are three which have silver ferns, one with a Kuro, and one with triangles.

If I was an Adult  would vote for the silver fern (Black , white and blue.) flag.

Firstly: the stars represent the southern cross which can only be seen in the southern hemisphere and the bottom of the cross always points north.

Secondly: The silver fern is the emblem off NZ and we use it in all of our sports and the Olympics.

Finally: Our flag at the moment looks too much like the Astrailands flag.

Motogp

This year I went to the motogp at Phillip island in Australia from the 16th to the 18th of October.  The points this year have been so close with the two Yamahas (1st Valentino Rossi on 296 points and Jorge Lorenzo on 285 points). It was a bad qualifying for Valentino Rossi qualifying 7th (click here for full qualifying results).

When the race had finished mark markis had finished 1st, Jorge Lorenzo finished 2nd, Iannone 3rd and  Valentino Rossi 4th which puts the championship standing at 11 point between  Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo but new news coming says that Valentino Rossi has been disqualified and will start from last in the grid for the final race of the motogp 2015 which will mean that Jorge Lorenzo will win the championship.
