During the premiership, Latasi raised the issue of changing the national flag of Tuvalu and reducing the size of the Union Jack . Latasi, at her discretion, replaced the flag with a new one without a British roof, which served as a signal of distancing from the colonial period. However, this flag was short-lived, as the successor of Lataci Bikenibeu Paeniu restored the previous version of the flag.
