    Default Australia's National Anthem

    P. M. Scott Morris on has announced that the second line of the anthem, which reads "For we are Yong and free to For we are one and free".
    This has been done in order to recognise the indigenous population.

    Vic he probably realises that some of us are now beginning to show our ages, as long as he leaves the word free alone he is probably safe for the time being. However Des may have something to say about it , as don’t think he is speaking to him at the moment. Cheers JS

    Already minority groups are saying he hasn’t gone far enough , so is back to roundabout and swings, give an inch And take a mile. Could be once a jolly swagman and people would still complain. JS

    Good job we have decimal currency and not the old Sterling system.

    Instead of one and free it may well have been one and six or even one and eleven.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Hi John.
    A good change for the Aboriginals who care. Then they had that twit of a boxer on TV and I was waiting for him to tell Morrison to include BLM, and he would have said God Bless my soul what a good idea, as he hasn't had many lately.

    #5. Whatever you do don’t mention 1/9 as will. Get another tirade from Cappy pleading poverty. JS

    Your Mr Morrison must have been inspired by the Three Muskateers

    Victoria.
    That would be more Australian than the present one, it's catchy and the words can be understood.
