Wellington City Councillor Nicola Young is hoping to revive the use of Wellington's flag, even if she thinks it looks a little like Captain Pugwash. Would you like to see it flying around the capital city? rnz.co.nz/national/programme…

Time to revive the flag? No not that one – the Wellington one | Stuff.co.nz definitely not, flag is fit only for the archives. stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/ne…
