It is not my favourite song, but we did vote for it.

It may not be great, but it is a damn sight better than anything this peanut has ever done, or would want.

It is about time welfare consuming aboriginal industry was closed down

Here are ten things you should know about
Advance Australia Fair:

http://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/2017/01/31/10-things-you-should-know-about-advance-australia-fair1

Here's Verse 2 of the original:

"When gallant Cook from Albion sailed
To trace wide aceans o'er
True British courage bore him on
Till he landed on our shore
Then here he raised Old England's flag
The standard of the brave
With all her faults we love her still
"Britannia Rules The wave"
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia Fair."

There you are. Things changed in 1984, and we
ended up with a slightly different anthem.

Now there's discussion about chainging it again
because of the words "young and free," which to
some has bad undertones. As do the words
"Advance Australia Fair," that some seem to think
refers to our previous White Australia Policy.

I think that inevitably - change will happen.
Personally, I think we can do better. We can
and should find words that have meaning for
everybody. An anthem that would bind us all
together as a nation - and put a lump into
our throats when singing it. Obviously the
current anthem doesn't do that for many of us.

I'm not fussed. But I think that change is
inevitable.

Foxy I suggest if you can't handle opinions other than your own that you stick to watching the abc and leave olo. You seem to have no problem with your mate Steelies disgusting slurs. You really should take a good look at yourself.
