Who else doesn't like our national anthem, 'Advance Australia Fair'? The lyrics aren't that great. It's all just self glorification really.
"Australia is great, we are young and free and wealthy, our great island is surrounded by water, we have golden soil and many a plain to share for those who come to visit under our radiant southern cross". Basically that's what it's saying. The tune isn't that great either.
I think this would make a better anthem.

This version starts off a bit slow but you can skip ahead. This song is about the history and the people of Australia that make it what it is, because we are one. It is much better for a national anthem. I know it wont be changed because Advance Australia Fair is in Australia's history and we have had it for 100 years, many people would object.
