Different comment: Why get rid of the "Union Jack" in the NZ flag? Since Her Majesty is still Queen of New Zeeland it seems odd that the visual link to the soverign would be eliminated.

As for New Zealanders, three main reasons: The current flag looks too colonial, it looks too much like the flags of too many other Commonwealth countries, especially Australia, and it's too British to represent such a diverse country.
The
real question is what happens to the Union flag if Scotland votes to leave the Union.
