A Maori flag will fly alongside the New Zealand flag at Premier House on Waitangi Day next year, Prime Minister John Key says.
There have been discussions about which Maori flag should be used on Auckland Harbour Bridge and other sites, and Mr Key said today Maori Party co-leader Pita Sharples had made a recommendation.
"I'm comfortable with the recommendation he's made but I haven't taken it to Cabinet yet," he said.
Mr Key would not say which Maori flag would be used but indicated it would be flown on more sites than before, including his official residence.
