My fellow Waiheke Islanders, Bernice Mene and Dion Nash, once upon a time sports stars / now part time TV announcers/advertisers power couple, have joined the campaign to change the New Zealand flag.I never cared much about cricket or netball, the chosen metiers of said power couple (players wear far too many clothes), but Dion is one of the best looking males on our island, so every mention deserves a plug. He's got stiff competition though!
