Oops. NZ flag mistaken for Germany.
Seven has a bit of a habit of mixing up national flags.

Seven seems to have a bit of a habit of mixing up national flags, most notably during news coverage of Paris attacks.
Following on from some confusion with China and Chile, Seven News accidentally ran a German flag in a Medal Tally for New Zealand.
A Seven source indicated it quickly rectified the boo-boo …hopefully before any Kiwis spotted it?

A lot of mixing up with flags. Last Nov was Paris with Netherlands, China with Chile and New Zealand with Germany. Channel 7 was all over the place!
Maybe Channel Seven should start watching Sheldon Cooper Fun With Flags!
Sheldon’s fun with flags.
Sky News put Uruguay at top of the table instead of USA. Not just the flag either!
How a major TV Network gets things like this wrong is beyond me
They need a vexillologist on staff.
Presumably the Chile/China thing would have been an error choosing the flag from a computer list of countries as they would be following each other alphabetically but confusing Germany and New Zealand is a real head scratcher.
Exactly – it’s not like the flags are similar, although surely even Seven will be able to distinguish between the NZ and Aus flag.
