✒️ The Laser Kiwi flag was created in 2015 by Lucy Gray, a former ACT Party candidate, as a proposed flag of New Zealand. She designed the flag in Microsoft Paint during an evening. Inspired by the many "deadly animals" in Australia, she took a Kiwi icon and turned it into a deadly animal. When the initial four chosen options were released for the first stage of the New Zealand flag referendums, Gray stated that she was "uninspired" by the designs as they "didn't derive much meaning" for her. During the New Zealand flag referendums, the Laser Kiwi flag became a large social media phenomenon and was featured in comedy routines by comedians, such as John Oliver, discussing the flag referendum and New Zealand in general. The flag features a New Zealand fern and a kiwi shooting a green laser beam from its eyes. The description of the flag stated that "the laser beam projects a powerful image of New Zealand. I believe my design is so powerful it does not need to be discussed." It was often joked by comedians that if the flag were to become the official flag of New Zealand, it would cause "fear" in New Zealand's enemies.
