BC Topic Author Offline Platinum Member Posts: 9293 Thank you received: 1663	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. The following user(s) said Thank You: Grump

BC Topic Author Offline Platinum Member Posts: 9293 Thank you received: 1663	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. The following user(s) said Thank You: ArkRoyal

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.
