I honestly feel that the changing of the word was not necessary for why they did it as it does not achieve much, and I for one would rather have "We Are Australian" as I find his to be more stirring. However with regards to the anthem there will now be something else comes up that people do not like about it and so it continues.
Im not much on our national anthem as to me too many people dont know the correct words but im not at all for the word change and i refuse to sing it if people think that the new words are good, they are mistaken...
Happy New Year Daria. This is so true that many people not know the words but agree with the word change. It doesn't really help. Thanks and take care. B.
I don't really like our anthem that much anyway. I don't like political correctness though. However, the change probably is appropriate. I don't like having to waste tax payers money on changing trivia.
