Words cannot describe what I'm feeling see all the disasters in Australia 😢 🔥🙏🏻 It's so sad and heartbreaking to see this! Tonight I have donated money to help in the efforts and I hope you can too. Please check out Red Cross Australia and donate what you can. Nothing is to little and they severely need our help! - 24 people dead - 10,000 Koalas dead - 500 millions animals Dead - Over 5,5 million hectares burned ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #prayforaustralia #prayforaustralia🇦🇺 #prayforrain #australia #australien #australiaisburning #bushfire #bushfiraustralia #weareaustralian #wildlife #koala #coala #känguru #tragedy https://www.instagram.com/p/B7CXlZYgMW5/?igshid=z8ijfqfzfuaa

A picture speaks a thousand words… Marches for freedom are inevitable across many Capitals of Australia going forward. Stand tall & proud, be peaceful & civil. The police are not the common enemy 👍🏼 …If you have a little Puppies that also helps 😏 #WeAreOne #weareaustralian #freedom (at Chinderah, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWMxgatpN2B/?utm_medium=tumblr

One powerful rendition of ‘I Am Australian’ was by the spectators in the public gallery at the House of Representatives following the legalisation of same-sex marriage in 2017.

I would suggest watching the whole video, but the singing begins at 1:19, and even some of the pollies join in (including Tanya Plibersek and Bill Shorten at the front).

Opinions on “I Am Australian”

"I Am Australian" really should become our national anthem. It solves the problem with the lyrics of "Advance Australia Fair" by celebrating that "We are one, but we are many", rather than "We are one and free" (the recent replacement to "We are young and free", which was even more problematic). We may be united as one country, but what makes us strong as a nation is our diversity and celebration of difference. Singing "We are one" on its own really reeks of Australia's past policies of assimilation (and Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party, but that's a post for another time). "I Am Australian", on the other hand, really does celebrate how we Australians come from all different backgrounds and experiences, but somehow we simultaneously, almost paradoxically, become one and many, a proud collective of diverse individuals working together to support our nation. Also, it's a great song in general. And there are so many historical and cultural references!!!
