What do you think the Australian anthem should be changed to if they decide to change it?

    here's a strong reason based on a major event: a bunch of people on romulation decided so. I'd like to see ol' Ruddy ignore that.

    It was either us, New Zealand or that little island a far bit away I think it was called Tasmania.

    it was Australia. If the British had not deported a load of criminals to Australia, the country would not exist as you know it. Like it or not, its a key part of Australian heritage. Also, as far as I remember, when the criminals arrived in Australia, they essentially became free men. So rather than sitting in some horrible jail cell in England (and jails really were not nice then, unlike now), they were essentially given a chance to make a new life in the new world, as Australia was known then. So really, they built Australia up into what she is now.

    Which explain why it's so carefree here, even the thugs belting people do it casually, like it's their life to belt other's :(

    That's not even near enough a good reason why your country's legislators would agree on changing your country's national anthem :p

    I'm usually not a fan of our current anthem...but then again, since when do other countries get a say of what anthem they'd like?

    Also, there's not a better feeling then hearing the Aussie Anthem after winning a gold medal in the Olympics. Although it doesn't often happen in the Winter games. :p

    Even the title kicks ass.

    Though, I'm not Australian...

    My point exactly, changing a country's anthem will not happen just as you would snap your fingers & wish it so.

    It takes some heavy deliberations before such a thing would happen.

    Also let me elaborate why...

    Is such an EPIC FAIL:

    trimbletown: here's a strong reason based on a major event: a bunch of people on romulation decided so. I'd like to see ol' Ruddy ignore that.

    Your average, non gamer, non interwebz savvy Australian: RomU... what!? The hell is this guy saying!?

    trimbletown: If they were cool they would.

    Your average, non gamer, non interwebz savvy Australian: Psssh, yeah right r'tard!

    End Rebuttal.

    My version:
    Australians all let us rejoice
    For we are white and free
    With blackened soil and wealth in debt
    Our home is girt by sea
    Our land abounds in refugees
    Of uglies rich and rare
    In history's page let every stage
    Advance Me 50 bucks.
    In painful strains then let us yell
    Advance Me 50 bucks.

    (Second verse to be completed soon)
