Some controversy surrounds the omission of the Tibetan flag stamps which were produced for an Auckland group, the "Friends of Tibet (NZ) Society" but subsequently deliberately covered by New Zealand Post with airmail stickers when noticed on mail. The stamps were not made available for purchase from New Zealand Post by stamp collectors. A New Zealand Post spokesman explained that printing the stamps had been a mistake as the stamps breached their terms and conditions and that the act of covering the stamps was deliberate. New Zealand Post tried to get the stamps returned for destruction and have stated they would not do a reprint of the stamp.Also in the issue New Zealand : Custom Advertising Labels (CALs):

A flag is a piece of fabric (most often rectangular or quadrilateral) with a distinctive design that is used as a symbol, as a signaling device, or as decoration. The term flag is also used to refer to the graphic design employed, and flags have since evolved into a general tool for rudimentary signalling and identification, especially in environments where communication is similarly challenging (such as the maritime environment where semaphore is used). National flags are patriotic symbols with varied wide-ranging interpretations, often including strong military associations due to their original and ongoing military uses. Flags are also used in messaging, advertising, or for other decorative purposes. The study of flags is known as vexillology, from the Latin word vexillum, meaning flag or banner.
