Your last statement was absolutely on the money Grump. The PC brigade seems to get tied up in knots about what the indigenous population likes or doesn't like and agonise over the most insignificant things.

Our national anthem is ok ,much better than most. How about the American national anthem? That sounds putrid.

Quite a few sportspeople don't sing the national anthem for a variety of reasons...they're focussing on the upcoming event, they can't sing, don't know all the words or just can't be bothered. The difference here is these guys have made a point of bringing it to the attention of the media to progress a political cause.

Victorians still laugh at West Aussies because of the way we bailed out the vfl and then allowed it to be called it the AFL!

You could stop it at the 2:08 mark. Something we could all be proud of

That’s the one that immediately came to mind for me tfaf, it’s brilliant. Not sure it would float though. The aboriginals, I think would want more than a few mentions. However, it does mention every type of people that made this great country.
TBH, our indigenous folks should be happy we sing an English/Australian anthem.

It is all just 'Americanised ' rubbish -- they could not come up with their own ideas to save themselves. It is easily fixed, just don't pick them for state of origin. Having said all that, I don't sing the anthem either.
