Ms Berejiklian said the line "we are young and free" should be changed to "we are one and free" in order to recognise Australia's 60,000 years of Indigenous history.
Racism and colonialism are solved!
Death, and I can’t stress this enough, to Australia :anglo-burn:
advance australia fair is a shit national anthem. Should just get a new one
I am anti-national anthem in general tbh. They all suck. At least honkey ones.
yep, it was the old name of the channel from the start of the year lmao.
Tannu Tuva was in on it the whole time
Slavs are technically crackers, the most cracker ass people in my life are Polish
Singing the national anthem is the equivalent of having a southern cross tattoo. It's a great way to tell me you're a fucking knob.
reappropriating the Eureka flag; yeah or nah?
probably too far gone at this point. fucking nazis
Yeah, but Australian trade unions have a sordid history of racism that [put a lot of countries to shame] (https://www.solidarity.net.au/unions/racism-white-australia-and-the-union-movement/). Fucking capital turning workers against one another.
She should probably add a line like 'and fuck the koalas' in reference to her ongoing commitment to the environment
Definitely, considering many Indigenous Australians certainly don't think that they are "one" with the Settler Colonial Australian state. It's just more liberal assimilationist rhetoric.
Press release on incredibly tokenistic indigenous "acknowledgement" while wearing a fucking football scarf and a poppy so the chuds don't get too pissed off, that's some grade-A classy pandering Gladys
How about we remove the first verse and force chuds to sing the second verse at gunpoint, Gladys?
then once all the chuds are dead, we get a new one
SMH all you arseholes bullying Gladys simply because she can't recall the words.
But it still doesn't change anything, as the next line is "only seventeen".
If it changes, it'll be to "I Am Australian", which would be an improvement but it's still a whitewash of colonial genocide.
The only good bit in the current one is the "For those who've come across the seas, We've boundless plains to share".
