I don't know if I can be proud of something I did not choose. If people were born in Germany, would they then be proud Australians? Or in America, then proud Americans. I am not a monarchist, and nationalism smacks to me of the privilege of birthright, where someone is given status purely by virtue of their birth.
I will love some things about this country and hate other things, however pride? Seems silly to me, for neither the good, nor the bad, am I responsible for.
if someone satid to me "i'll give you the world only if you give up your australian citizen ship" i would say "no". i love this country and i wont give it up for the world.
GOD PEOPLE RACISM IS PART OF SOCIETY IN EVERY COUNTRY ON EARTH NOT JUST AUSTRALIA IN FACT AUSTRALIA IS ONE OF THE MOST MULTICULTURAL COUNTRIES ON EARTH ! Although as does every other country we protect our borders and rightfully so, i have no problem with immigrants and understand the conditions they are trying to escape are dire although when i start having a problem is when they come over and expect us to become a custom to their way of life or religion this is the minority as are the racists.
Although I'm not from Australia, nor have I ever visited Australia, whenever I listen to this song, I always feel as though I'm a citizen of Australia, and thus feel a sense of pride of Australia.
@parsizaban you are a knob because you are prejudiced (FYI racism is a form of prejudice) against all 'White Ausralians' because you assume that all 'White Australians' are opposed to a multicultural Australia, which is wrong. There are plenty of 'White Australians' that welcome and in fact encourage people from other cultures and of other ethnicities to come here and be part of the wonderful fabric that makes up Australian society. Also, most refugee advocates are 'White Australians' :)
Ignorant people are everywhere and sad part in human nature is that negativeness appeals more to us.And people who do mudslinging are nothing but media mind washed junkies who don't have there own sense and sensibilities to gauge whats right and wrong because it was fed to there minds.Sure there are incidents and there are bad experiences but there are good experiences why is that not shining bright ask yourself .I am an Indian proud to be also respect Australia and nice ppl there.Nice song btw
i think this song is great. the concept is there that each of us are on an equal footing on this world. im a proud filipino and im not boxed in the culture that we have. g'day mates! i know we dont have the same perspective on this but then again most of us will agree.
The socialists are in control of our government and don't care about the average aussie so they'll destroy our way of life, today's generations have thrown out the "aussie Values" that we're known for displaying, our kids aren't taught about our past history or heritage (both Aboriginal and post-settlement), and there are plenty of people who don't want to intergrate into our society so they carry on like it's their "old" home and they're coming in by the illegal boatload, Still true Aussie????
to @APH1991, pull ur head out of ur arse u wanker! i haven't been overseas 1 because im not the "traveling" type and 2 so people from other country's come to see our country becuase its so amazing so i want to see everywhere around my own country before going overseas! get a grip u tosser!
To be called Australian, like any country the image of the nation is built on the backs of the people who live on, that makes Aboriginal Australians, White Australians, Italian Australians, Russian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, Indian, Lebanese, Japanese, Brazilian, and every single other race that help make this country what it is, Australian!
australians are the true people, and always will be, we look out for eachother, that's the way we are brought up, we live the country life, riding horse backs in the open sun, we care for our people, land, animals, our pride, this is life, this is Australia
Although Advance Australia Fair was a good National Anthem at the time, I think they should give Australia a NEW National Anthem, one that represents (or tries to represent) everyone who has made his/her name in Australia. And I think this should be that new National Anthem.
PROUD TO BE AUSTRALIAN. And always will be. Australia, the great country with beautiful plains and amazing scenery, not saying that other countries aren't. Kind people all around, and consists of all people, from different cultures. A friendly place where you know where you can fit in. In my opinion, Australia is the best country there is (:
You're right. Australia might (and must) be phantastic, but I find my country, Hungary, at lest beautiful like Australia. Uluru is nice, and quite end of natural seeing. And here? In the smallest village, at leastr one beautiful park. I like to be hungarian. Australia must be great, and I want to visit it...
@Nuenonne listen my brother or sister whoever you are i am a proud githabel woman and i think you got me wrong. i do believe we all are descendents of the pygmy people. i mean on this youtube we dont need to make things complicated by getting politically correct and arguing. i mean one mob why do we have to prove a point all the time, its about teaching sharing and moving foward, arguing puts a block in that road.. thats all and im sorry if i offended you.
ΥΟU ARE SOME IDIOT ENGLISH, THAT YOU THINK THERE IS NO AUSTRALIAN NATION. HOW THERE IS NATION OF USA? IF YOU THINK NO ONLY FOR AUSTRALIA, THEN YOU ARE FACISTS
Australia is a multiculturel country and we call it our home because its the best place of Earth to live, everyone is respectful in someways and you have your bad but not anymore
i am australian and i hate super sensitive polically correct fantasists and fuckwits whether they're wogs,asians, curry munchers or aussies. you can live in my street if you're not a fuckwit no matter what colour.
Just saying, but who else thinks that this song would have been amazing as our anthem? Of course not the extended one but I just love this song, its amazing.
First Aborigines were NOT the first australians.When they arrived it was populated by pygmies which were promptly pushed out and became extinct.They also brought dingoes with them which ate many species into extinction.They then burned the joint because it was an easy way to catch food.They changed our landscape a lot and no one should forget that.
@HYDROGROWER1 ... being an descendant of that pygmy tribe of only 22, I must point out they were not "pushed out"..... in 1842 the British killed everyone of the fullbloods of that race except THREE. You say pushed out ... we say mass genocide... potatos, potatoes... That first tribe were the Nuenonne... pronounced Ninoonya. I am proud of my heritage!
First Aborigines were NOT the first Australians, Australia was populated by pygmies when they arrived and they promptly wiped them out.They brough dingoes with them which then ate many species to extinction.Then burned the joint because it was an easy way to catch food, further changing the lanscape.
I listened to this with tears, whilst watching the snow tumble down, and I want to be home. I currently live in a very undemocratic, poor, corrupt place, and every single day I am reminded that I was born and raised in a better place. Australia. I am saddened to read the racist and homophobic comments from my fellow countrymen and women. Please don't, you reinforce the worst stereotypes of Australians. I'll see you soon Australia.
@OSMarsupial I'm not from Australia, but listening to this song brought tears to my eyes as well. I have always loved patriotic songs, and this song, particularly this version, would definitely make a wonderful national anthem for Australia.
I never said they were founders (or I might've, but forget that)...
I was only saying that they made this country into what it is today, a diverse and unique land. Of course, the bloody Youtube comments cut me off... -.-
But in all honesty, who cares? I'm happy to live in a place where everyone is different.
@Deekonmix23 Ever looked at the racial makeup of the first colonists IE convicts,..
a Few Italians, a few French Canadian rebels, a few Spanish prisoners from Gibraltar,.. even gasp a few West indians and indentured Indians. Just saying that there was no Homogenous mass of pasty faced emaciated white convicts with bad teeth dumped in Port Jackson in 1788 onwards
"The Fatal Shore" is a fascinating read, Try it sometime
to be honest with you guys i rkn australia has the least racism in the world. I look around and see heaps of different skin colours but i does anyone give a dam? nope.
Too those who think, White Australians are true aussies, then you should seriously consider getting help. Anyone and everyone who calls this country home is an Australian, Like it or not, it doesn't matter what your background is.. we are one nation.. take it or leave it.
@KomRade493 I agree with you, as long as people adapt to the great culture this country has had for years then i do not see a problem, i do believe immigration has gone too far in a way though, as they are letting people in without doing a background check and housing them at tax payers expense while we still have 2 million un-employed and still so many homeless, we need to fix these problems first.
I *LOVE* this song. Have loved it for years. Thanks so much for posting it :) It is sad, angry, bitter and dare I suggest, englightenening. LOVELY. thank you.
I am truly sorry for Indians being targeted in a country that is supposed to be known for its laid back attitude and mateship BUT before you go calling all Australians racist please remember that racism exists in one form or another in many different countries. It's not fair to smack us with the racist stick when their are certain cultures that don't allow their children to marry outside of their own ethnicity.
Australia was built on the backs of immigrants of all nationalities. Be proud.
I don't understand why you insist on reflecting the racism you hate so much. I am a white Australian and I am NOT racist, and I am NOT anti-Indian. I don't appreciate you telling me I am. I agree with the lyrics of this song, we're all Australian, white Australian and Indian Australian alike and it's unfortunate that some Australians can't see that.
@dayal35 You dont know me cunt so dont call me fucking racist you fucking cocksucking imbecile....Purile broad sweeping statements are unhelpful,regressive and frankly out you as the intellectual lightweigt you are
@dayal35 Patriotic Australians would get you obliterated for that comment. Stereotypes are inaccurate of the whole nation, yet when one person makes a comment like that, it gives us proud Australians a target. It doesn't matter what fucking colour or culture you are. Saying shit like that will get you killed. Keep shit like that silent, or face the consequences.
@dayal35 I'm a white Aussie, i am proud to be Australian and i am certainly not ANTI INDIAN, INHUMAN AND RACIST! Yes some ppl would think so but to me we are all mates.
Well, the original file listed the artist as John Williamson, and it does not even sound CLOSE to him. I think that Lo-Tel would probably be the best bet for now...
im sorry ur on the doll im sorry u brock into my house and stole my shit...im sorry u have to live a life of prison well wake the fuck up and get of the drugs or we will use u like we did back then becausen the way u cunts a treating us is shit we brang u food clothing and more WAKE THE FUCK UP
its not our fault Australia is a Lucky and beautiful country that dint take it far like the UK or mess up bad like the USA .. But Australia has is good and its bad But is so Uneek in alot of things like our Nature and our Out Back and the Citys..
WEll i second that, But they souldent piss off. They should just stop using our FUKING STUFF and live out in the bush were they belong. So they eather stop Winging and shit. Or Stop using our shit.
mate, first of all australia didnt capture anything, which is why our legal system developed the way it did, the british declared terra nullius, they did not see this land as a conquest or else they WOULD HAVE TO RESPECT LOCAL CULTURE. Mate, thats why when britain 'captured' hong kong and india they kept local legal systems and culture. here in australia they literally ripped it apart because they didnt see it as worthwhile. i think the indigenous have a right to be angry
@forocious before i get angry replies. i love this country! lol. i was just pissed off at the ignorance of some of the people commenting, and their ridiculous lack of ability to spell. haha. seriously, before you go posting, get an education and actually know what you are talking about yeah guys? We Are Australian for the National Anthem!!!
pretty sure that hardly any of u here are actual Australians the only real Aussies are the aboriginals but white people came here and took over thinking that they were something fucking important in my honest opinion all u cunts can fuck off back to England
You aren't really giving the Aboriginal people a good name with an attitude like that are you?...Our government has apologized for all the shit our past government has done wrong and that's really the best we can do- we are't all going to move and really...the government was stupid back then- there's nothing we can do about it so stop getting all pissed off.
So you still hunt with a spear and a boomerang? And of course you don't live in a house or shop in a supermarket? You probably don't use money, processed food or wear any clothing you haven't made yourself.
Let's face it you probably wouldn't survive in the bush for more than a week. Get over yourself - either acknowledge the advantages of white culture or go and live in the outback for a few months. Find out what it really was like to be an aboriginal before you start critising whites.
Please shut up now one thing the world needs less of is racism ok we took australia but if we didnt take it the french or dutch would of. aboriginals wernt going forward they didnt build a society so they didnt have a classified country at the time. so to england it was theres for the taking...anyway arnt you happy your australian with all diffrent people in a mix because i am?
The Aborigines did have a society for your information. It was divided up into hundreds of smaller territories with no central government and many different dialects, but it was still society.
Do you honestly think this make you look any better than the people you are talking about. You are a typical insular American. Have you ever even traveled out of the US? Have you even met an Aussie? Why don't you try to get to know people before you judge them. Let them be proud of there country as you are of yours. Not that there's much to be proud of in the US anymore. The socialistic nation it is becoming.
The band is actually called The Botanics, according to a news article in The Australian on 21st July, 2008. Just thought the credit shoudl go to the right people.....

I am truly sorry for Indians being targeted in a country that is supposed to be known for its laid back attitude and mateship BUT before you go calling all Australians racist please remember that racism exists in one form or another in many different countries. It's not fair to smack us with the racist stick when their are certain cultures that don't allow their children to marry outside of their own ethnicity.
Australia was built on the backs of immigrants of all nationalities. Be proud.

I don't understand why you insist on reflecting the racism you hate so much. I am a white Australian and I am NOT racist, and I am NOT anti-Indian. I don't appreciate you telling me I am. I agree with the lyrics of this song, we're all Australian, white Australian and Indian Australian alike and it's unfortunate that some Australians can't see that.

@dayal35 Patriotic Australians would get you obliterated for that comment. Stereotypes are inaccurate of the whole nation, yet when one person makes a comment like that, it gives us proud Australians a target. It doesn't matter what fucking colour or culture you are. Saying shit like that will get you killed. Keep shit like that silent, or face the consequences.

Well, the original file listed the artist as John Williamson, and it does not even sound CLOSE to him. I think that Lo-Tel would probably be the best bet for now...

I couldn't give a fuck what any aboriginals or other races said about England taking over Australia.
How many natives from other countries have had their land taken over? A lot.
Abos can get the fuck over it. Say whatever you want, we're not going anywhere.
We've captured and held this land for a very long time now and it is rightfully ours AND theirs to share.
If they don't like it, they can piss off back to asia via the islands they hopped to aus from.
They're as aussie as US.

WEll i second that, But they souldent piss off. They should just stop using our FUKING STUFF and live out in the bush were they belong. So they eather stop Winging and shit. Or Stop using our shit.
Dogga4life 2 years ago
@KarboNeTikz
mate, first of all australia didnt capture anything, which is why our legal system developed the way it did, the british declared terra nullius, they did not see this land as a conquest or else they WOULD HAVE TO RESPECT LOCAL CULTURE. Mate, thats why when britain 'captured' hong kong and india they kept local legal systems and culture. here in australia they literally ripped it apart because they didnt see it as worthwhile. i think the indigenous have a right to be angry

You aren't really giving the Aboriginal people a good name with an attitude like that are you?...Our government has apologized for all the shit our past government has done wrong and that's really the best we can do- we are't all going to move and really...the government was stupid back then- there's nothing we can do about it so stop getting all pissed off.

So you still hunt with a spear and a boomerang? And of course you don't live in a house or shop in a supermarket? You probably don't use money, processed food or wear any clothing you haven't made yourself.
Let's face it you probably wouldn't survive in the bush for more than a week. Get over yourself - either acknowledge the advantages of white culture or go and live in the outback for a few months. Find out what it really was like to be an aboriginal before you start critising whites.

Please shut up now one thing the world needs less of is racism ok we took australia but if we didnt take it the french or dutch would of. aboriginals wernt going forward they didnt build a society so they didnt have a classified country at the time. so to england it was theres for the taking...anyway arnt you happy your australian with all diffrent people in a mix because i am?
crazywigdude 2 years ago
The Aborigines did have a society for your information. It was divided up into hundreds of smaller territories with no central government and many different dialects, but it was still society.

Do you honestly think this make you look any better than the people you are talking about. You are a typical insular American. Have you ever even traveled out of the US? Have you even met an Aussie? Why don't you try to get to know people before you judge them. Let them be proud of there country as you are of yours. Not that there's much to be proud of in the US anymore. The socialistic nation it is becoming.
