I Still Call Australia Home - 2M

[juldaud247]

wow!! breathtaking!! well done!

[tigeratlantic]

Good choir, Excellent, Tyrus - You are lucky to have such great friends. To rest of the people in the choir - Lovely voice

[bwb4jkm]

btw, just for the fact, the little boy at the start is torres strait, he is not a aboriginal. Torres Strait Islanders are the indigenous people of the Torres Strait Islands. They are culturally and genetically linked to Melanesian peoples and those of Papua New Guinea.

[mandaya888]

i love this ad .... it sends shivers down my spine.

[ButterfliesILoveThem]

I am in this video! It was so fun filming! I LOVE AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ButterfliesILoveThem]

I am in this video! It was so fun filming!

[Rekrad626]

to all the american who think this is the aboriginal language.... its only one of the many tribes........... there's thousands of aborignal languages

[Rekrad626]

what aboriginal tribe is this?

[ojyhofoy]

I still call Canada home....

[Blazy9]

You know what, I think the 747 looked better at the end. Don't get me wrong, I love the A380, and it's my favourite plane, but it just doesn't look as right as the 747.

[stanfordeconomist]

i live in australia altough im not an aussie , i can feel the adrenaline from this song..i love australiaa .

[GERMANLOVER7000]

i went for my 40 th birthday to australia and still call this country home...i miss him a lot and i hate where i live....look forward to fly back to aussieland soon...miss u downunderxxxx

[Bonami27]

Not to boast~ But I was a part of this ad. :'D So much fun!!!

[SQ163]

I don't really like the service of this airline, but the song of their Ads are amazing!!! The seats on A380 are really comfy and their On:Q was fantastic!! Just, please! Be nice to those who are not white, especially the stewardess!! The stewards were friendly thou.

[WikdIvy]

Go fuck yourself!! Your not even Australian. Do we speak that language here in Australia? NO! So go take Your imported ass back to where you come from!!

[qantas8888]

good point but simply Qantas australia's premuim airline just simply wants to sell tickets. That is life MONEY MONEY MONEY

[Mhor]

@WikdIv

Actually I think you will find that language was spoken here long before English was. What imported Arse (spelt the right way that Australian's spell it) are you talking about? The English that imported their unwanteds here or the people that found their way here about 60,000 years before them?

[Rekrad626]

@WikdIvy man settle down its aboriginal.... not afican or whatever you were thinking

[jawharp1992]

I traveled to Australia in December of 2009. What a magnificent experience. Thank you for uploading this video and helping me keep those memories alive and joyful.

[michelmichal]

Crap Crap Crap !

And now you want us to pay for your expensive tickets because of the children singing...

Is it a commercial from 1991?

[goaldrush]

Awesome ad

[laredo09]

extraordinaire et époustouflante !!!! bravo

[seanus991]

dunlop volleys at 1:47 :)

[greeenjellybean]

haha good work - i wouldn't have spotted that!

[QantasFSX]

what does volleys mean?

[goaldrush]

they are a pair of runners.

[SJB173]

Any one who watches this, you know you love it! :)

[TheFoolishNutter]

Go Christie!!!

[jackieNooB]

christie sucks she even said so >:D

[FanOfFlyingHigh]

AMAZING !!! Pround of Qantas~!!!

[mikaelaarose94]

aww i love this ad.

makes me proud to be Australian :)

[1989samir]

@mikaelaarose94 im not aus bt still feeling proud to listen it :D

[RainbowSmiling16]

Qantas ad... Definitely the most amazing experience of my life

[MrChongs26]

I'm performing this song at the Socceroo's vs. the neverlands match next Saturday. I am with the AGC!!

[cheeseandbiccys]

No, its the Australian Girls Choir, therefore the AGC.

[goaldrush]

It's both the boys and girls choir champ.

[vhzxb]

THE ROO

[nosamxxx]

Saw u on tv. The championship game

[islandwarrior16]

Its sung in my Torres Strait language (Kala Lagaw Ya)

[islandwarrior16]

this should be the Australian Anthem. Advance Australia Fair sounds very ordinary

[MissBabygal101]

Soooo Proud of You Tyus

i miss you bubba

[csufin50]

Nearly made me tear up. I'm a proud American but the lyrics move me to make Australia my next international vacation.

[nosamxxx]

I live in the us but i am a austrailian citizen. I am proud to be an aystrailian!!!! Go A380!!!

[Blazy9]

At least have the curtsy of spelling Australian correct.

[scagliettileopard]

how can they find a empty moment outside Westminster?

[scagliettileopard]

The dominated Boeing 747 on this commercial for years finally changes to Airbus A380.

[alan198725]

god are we not all australians we should all learn to get along with each other and not be so stubborn and maybe people should forget about the past to certain degree and move forward as one nation and one people as australian not several different people race or religions

[etenks1]

this is ridiculous

[ToiletGreece]

I find the way you refer to the "Koori", and only the "Koori" and insult to those of other parts of Australia.

This is fun :)

[randomskinnyguy]

I only speak about my people, Koories. Aboriginal is a scientific word. It's as bad as us calling white people 'homo erectus'.

Now I'm not here to divide, just point out your innate racism. Get back to class & learn something.

[ToiletGreece]

And you need to distinguish the difference between racism and simply referring to someone as "they".

[dingo225]

Are you still banging on about this ad? get a life! it's people like YOU that keep the Aborigines separate from the rest of Australian society. Waves of migrants have integrated into our society, because they choose to. But people like you refuse to have a bar of it. Not our fault...

[randomskinnyguy]

I think you'd better research your history before you go making broad sweeping statements. So you don't look silly.

[dingo225]

I know my history. You're just digging up the darkest aspects of it. It's time to move on and let go

[seachangeau]

about time - 3 years after the first ad which had NO aboriginal children at all. and apartf rom this beautiful rendition of a favourite song i think QANTAS is frightful - they ruined my holiday leaving my sick child and i to wait 5 hours!!! for assistance on the floor of the airport . the 4 year old had to push the luggage trolley. we fly emirates.

[charleybarley1994]

so your basing the whole country and its airlines on one little flight problem... get over it! ive caught only quantas and ive had bad and good trips.. its life hun, get used to it!

[323bebe2]

Thank God he was a real Aussie and not an indian

[fabianv94]

wat so indian australians rnt real australians ?

[etenks1]

aboriginals. not indian australians

[john22hickey]

At the school assembly he sung this song with permission from Qantas he was excellent. He will be singing in the AFL grand final.

[john22hickey]

Oh yer by mate from St. Augustines College in Cairns, the lead singer on Qantas ad(his the main singer)

[SportSkills]

Love this Ad and Song!

[ToiletGreece]

You know it's a good ad when you get constant shivers down your spine. When every hair on your arm stands up and your eyes begin to water. An amazing ad, far better than any tourism ad could deliver. The children in this ad are amazing and the Torres Straight Islander is superb.

Equality and love to all Australians. :D

[GuitarVlog]

Read that there is a television special on the history of the I Still Call Australia Home campaign airing on Saturday August 29 at 4.30pm on Channel 7. Any chance that it can be posted on this channel?

[Ozyorga]

Peace, Love, Light, Blessings & Gratitude 2 all who's loving energy is sweeping the world through the healing vibrations of this song, sung by our greatest resource, our children. Auntie Karl-Madjitil Moorna-Singers of Aboriginal songs.

[Ozyorga]

Yes this is the sort of song that needs to be our national anthem or my other choice would be "We Are One, We are Many, and from all the lands on EArth We come-We sing with one voice-We are Australian." If many of us Indigenous Australians can accept the diversity of peoples, who recognise moorditj (Good) country, why can't the original invaders accept.

[Ozyorga]

Woolah, from Perth,Wadjuk country. Congratulations Tyus Loban, Torres Strait Islander lad, U sing so powerfully little one, who appears so large on this, congratulations 2 ur family, their hearts must b bursting with pride & of course congratulations 2 all the children making this fabulous piece of work.I cry whenever I hear or see it. Congratulations 2 QANTAS for their wisdom in choosing this song.

[john22hickey]

For starters his name is Tyus Arndt and he is from Thursday Island and goes to my highschool in Cairns.He is in year 8.

[Ozyorga]

I apologise if I got his name wrong, but I got it from an earlier post from one of his relations, and Thursday Island is in the Torres Strait, therefore he is a Torres Strait Islander as well as a Thursday Islander. However he has done a great job, and please pass on my congratulations to him. Peace & Blessings.

[john22hickey]

I just found out as of 2 years ago(his mum married) he changed his name from Tyus Arndt to Tyus Loban. I sent him ur congratulations to him.

[RainbowSmiling16]

I wish people would stop saying he's Aboriginal.

He's from the Torres Strait, okay?

[armand959]

love this song!

[breaker1237547]

thanks for the upload

[brawlmaster32]

australia will always be my 1 and only home. wonderful ad. keep it up Qantas!

[freddietheteddy]

save miguel

[djyk777]

Wow. This is the type of ad that Tourism Australia should've made.

[randomskinnyguy]

I find this another half arsed attempt to exploit the aboriginals as one of the reasons you travel to Australia, yet do nothing for their welfare or well being.

How many jobs do you give to Aboriginals per year QANTAS?

[dingo225]

you're like one of those rabid bitches i see everyday at uni - they never see the good side of anything. isn't it a start that as a nation we're finally mature enough to embrace our multicultural identity? Why not appreciate this great example, instead of making everything about exploitation and suppression? Any Australian who watches this swells with pride at what we've become as a people.

[randomskinnyguy]

Are you implying that having ancestry that have lived here for well over 50,000 years means I'm not Australian?

Cause I certainly didn't swell with pride over that piece of crap.

[dingo225]

that's beside the point. completely. take that black armband off and accept the Australia we've become.

[etenks1]

i am ticked off too. I am part aboriginal. And i am so offened when people say we are not australian.

[ToiletGreece]

How many Aboriginals want the job? Sure it was white man who wrecked the Aboriginals way of life but there's only so much you can do for them. They get given government housing, yet rip up the floors and sit in the dirt.

You "randomskinnyguy" are an idiot.

[randomskinnyguy]

Your use of 'they' implies you're a racist bastard, along with every other stereotype you just pulled out of your private school education, and judging by your name your people have been in the country less than 50 years.

There's no 'they' there's only us. And that's why this is patronising rubbish, trying to cash in on the closest thing Australia will ever have to culture.

Most Kooris would prefer a job than handouts, it's a deliberate system that was engineered to keep us down, not help.

[ToiletGreece]

How does referring to a specific race as "they" imply that someone is racist? "They" isn't a word which has a secondary meaning, I used it with the intention of addressing Aboriginal Australians. You're clearly proving you've nothing left to say if you've decided to pick up on someones choice of words. You see, I could have said Aboriginal Australians but I chose to say that - no pun or racial undertones intended.

How you say Australia has no culture is almost comical.

[randomskinnyguy]

Stereotyping aboriginals by saying "They get given government housing, yet rip up the floors and sit in the dirt." would have to be a great indication of your level of intelligence and authority on the subject.

[ToiletGreece]

It's not a stereotype -.-  . I was speaking of a case I had heard about in recent years i which Aboriginals were given homes, only to pull up the floors and sit on the ground.

[randomskinnyguy]

It is a fucking stereotype you uneducated buffoon - imagine if I said 'greeks don't deserve to live here because they drive WRX's, wear aftershave and bash people'.

That's a stereotype, exactly what you just said.

Go bury your head in the sand, it's not worth my time talking to you.

[AMPLIFIER1]

what is it about Australia that makes you want to leave, but in your heart you always love it so much and everything it stands for.

[concorde70]

Hate it!

[etenks1]

I HATE YOU. BUT YOUR STILL AROUND. GO JUMP ASS WIPE >=-l

[concorde70]

I may be disliked but you are an uneducated fool.

[WolfieRankin]

This should be our National Anthem

[reivax214]

Magnifique <3

[garyjennifer]

Absolutely beautiful commercial. Well done to the Australian Girls Choir, Australian Boys Choir and Indiginous Choirs for producing such fine young singers. I loved the documentary "Coming Home".

[misio1997]

While I have to commend Qantas on a beautiful ad, Qantas as a company is substandard. Duck tape holding together seats in Business class, rude customer service. Lift your game Qantas, airlines like Singapore are class leaders, and for the fees Qantas charges, I would expect a lot more.

[skye131924]

You know i have heard that Emirates economy is equal to Qantas business/first class!

[davidnosmoke]

Well you've heard wrongly skye131924. I've flown Emirates a couple of time across the Tasman and while a good airline, they are not in the same class as Qantas, or one other certain airline which flys the same route.

[shockingshot]

Why would immigrants be calling Australia home?

[dingo225]

because they're as Australian as the best of us.

[deccas1391]

(to shockingshot) They aren't immigrants

[etenks1]

i hope you die a horrible death. For one thing. How are aboriginals immigrants. get your facts straight cunt before you disrespect my race.

[mitchell8462]

pyromanizak why don't you call australian home anymore?

This song is like Australias seconbd National Anthem!! Kyle even said it. Plus it ain't an immigrant child. It's the proud owners of Australia, the Aboriginie or better term Aboriginal.

[pyromanizak]

OHHH watch out Kyle said it. A fake child raping fuck from a shit radio station. Woh. Thats solid.

[ahyoung77]

Same old same old.

[pyromanizak]

for fuck sake, I dont call australia home anymore. All you fucking immigrants, politicians and corporations have fucked it up.

[etenks1]

i hope you get tortured until you really mean that. YOU DONT LIKE AUSTRALIA GET THE FUCK OUT. ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO MAKE OUR COUNTRY LOOK BAD. YOU DONT DESERVE TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY SO FREE AND GREAT.

[irrhysistable]

such a loser

[GarfieldJNR]

The lead singer is my nephew. Go Tyus Loban, represent my boy!!

[gr1nd0nmee]

That's awesome.

[Sutraphil]

My gorgous daughter was lucky enough to get to sing on this. It has always made me cry and even more now!

[ToiletGreece]

Well done to your daughter for being in such a piece of history. :D

[beekeeyah]

i sung on this too :)

[pyromanizak]

why the fuck did you cry over an ad using our national heritage to promote their corporation.

[garlex134]

Brilliant, very touching indeed, sure makes me want to go to australia.

[antipants94]

[Liamras]

You can't beat Qantas, wherever I am around the world, as soon as I hop onto a qantas jet. I feel at home right away.

[craigymason]

great commercial, hopefully they make more profits now

[mrtuzii]

Australia my one and only home!

[patmanchye]

[marzmp]
