I still call Australia home - Peter Allen

[KTfelz]

@Doc wog  You fucking clown none of the Brits who colonized Australia are even alive you fucking clown

[MrPeterthepilot]

It has 3 verses + a chorus so it would be abit long for an anthem. It would also sound shittly played by brass-band which is how most anthems are used....

[MrPesty69]

Happy Australia day to all our expat Aussies overseas today thinking of home

[ilarioo23]

rome, not rio.... but is a beatiful song, should be our national anthem.

[ZestyLemonBoi]

What a wonderful song, full of meaning and very catchy!

[caperfudge]

"Who's Peter Allen?" some clown asked. (I've left out the swearing.) Well, he was from Tenterfield in New South Wales, Australia, but he DID marry Liza Minelli and he WAS Judy Garland's son-in-law. And his theatrical career in USA was absolutely outstanding. So where u been all your life, clown?

[MafiaMan2905]

the idiots who disliked this are jealous they cant call australia home

[nikserkv]

I'm Filipino by ethnic culture background, but everytime I hear this song I honestly feel proud to be an Australian also. Since our arrival in 1994, we were welcomed with open arms & it is such great & very friendly nation.

[KattyG101]

I was reading the comments that are on here and i realised that people are being very racist and rude. i personally think that

A. If you havent been to australia, come. And bring all your stuff cos you wont ever want to leave.

B. If you cant say anything nice DONT say anything AT ALL!!!

C. I have grown up in australia so coming from an aussie i say that peter allen was a great guy. I saw the musical" The Boy from Oz" and was instantly proud to be australian.

RIP Peter Allen

[angelcute2001]

[quincyx3rules]

[Tinsby]

Oprah SANG IT? God I'm glad I missed that one!! LMAO I wouldn't cross the road to hear that woman sing anything let alone this great song.

We miss you Peter.. R I P

[grundigsatellit]

I live in Australia for 30 years. I was born in Odessa, Ukraine, where I lived for 30 years, but I find happiness only in this wonderful country. I love Sydney, love Australia more then life. Thank you, Peter Allen, God bless you, and all Australians!

[comercio76]

Australia I'll be there for the first time in 15 days. I'm so exited !!! Love this song!!!

[poluboyar]

HAPPY AUSTRAILIA DAY ! Peace and prosperity of your country!

[janou1935]

I was so lonely for my daughter who lives in Australia...when I heard this song on Oprah I cried...I will be going there for sure...

[7t8h4z]

If this song doesn't bring out the love of homeland juices, I don't know what would. Such a beautiful song. I cried when I heard it, and I'm not even an Aussie!

[twinstu50]

@7t8h4z

DAMN!.

I breaks me up too!.

SO Emotional. 

[DitzyBrunett247]

I heard Oprah singing this song today on her show and fell in love with it! I want to come to Australia right this minute!!

[nickwade1]

So lange keine Deutsche kommen ist alles OK

[siriusminx]

Peter Allen (The Boy from Oz), wrote this fabulous song. RIP Peter.

[505LO]

I'm not from Australia nor have I ever been there but I say I love this song and yes, why this song is not Australia's National anthem beats me really because its a perfect song. I feel like jumping in a Qantas flight to Melbourne and say "good day" to Australia.

Who ever made this song should be rewarded Australia's top award because he/she deserves. 

[mr9mr]

When I come to power the first thing i will do is change the australian anthem

[nsakic]

nice song!

[leon6266]

omg i love so dissssssssss song everytime Im in the airbus i hear it. It makes my blood pump so proud being an australian

[wy1003]

Definitely should be our National Anthem. The best song I have ever heard.

Impacts of climate change in the news

Australia has hottest-ever summer

AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE

March 2, 2010

Severe weather in Australia, parts of which have been hit by a 10-year drought, has heightened public concern over climate change.

Western Australia has sweated through its hottest ever summer, recording average temperatures just shy of 30 degrees Celsius, officials said on Monday.

[InformationMinister]

@Nightversionn LOL shit you think 30 degrees in march is bad? During the drought out here we were getting close to 40 hahaha. Thats all eased up now however. Thank you drought breaking rains!

[Nightversionn]

climate news...

NCAR: Scientists can't measure all heat trapped on Earth

Half of the energy captured by greenhouse gases isn't accounted for

About half of the total amount of heat entering the atmosphere is unaccounted for, according a study in Science that suggests the oceans are absorbing energy that will haunt us sooner or later.

[taylor2144]

@RMSLusitania1 Plus you would be old, so your aloud to be old and racist lol

[Nannonful]

As for roos being 'slaughtered'... they do taste nice!

How is that any different than cattle being slaughtered to give beef?

Fish being slaughtered to give meat?

Pigs being slaughtered for pork?

It isnt.

[taylor2144]

@RMSLusitania1 An your grandkids will probably think your racist

[calsonick]

This song always makes my eyes well up cant help it rofl

[Halofame5stars]

about rejecting other people. have you Forgot that Australia is not about MAN it is the land. And it is the Land that rules Australia not man.That is why AUA is so great.. those words where my forfather who was Gov. of NSW before we were born.

[Halofame5stars]

I still say this song should replace our country song....It fits us all...Face it, no matter where go, australia still lives in our vains.Why they say BLUE BLOOD is stronger than any blood.

[lavender8881]

yes me too, to tell you the truth australia is finished, i believe in social capitalism!! do you?

but at least the good old songs live forever not forgotten also.

[lavender8881]

yeah it will rlly suck :( but its happening right now but at least we can say we have seen the old australia

[lavender8881]

with all the immagrints coming in aussie wont be good anymore because the spirit of selling out

[pungooer]

I think lot of people feel like you and I do. It is a song that stirs up all kinds of emotions, doesn't it? Cheers

[kohlerfcau]

Great Song, although personally i like peter allens actual version better.

[pungooer]

Why this song is not our National Anthem I will never know. Beats the other shitty song we have to sing by miles.

[escibs]

@pungooer There will be a new anthem when we become a republic one day!

[pungooer]

@escibs Let us hope this is it.



[griffljg]

@pungooer I still prefer "I am Australian". That really captures the essence of being Australian.

[viviennea438]

@pungooer amen

[Amunication]

@pungooer

Probably cos it's not a song about Australia it's about Australian expats lol

[GoddyofWar]

It's a proven enigma, I would tell you to ask the late great Don lane but he recently passed away:

You come here as a tourist. You never leave.

[satellitechickkk]

I live in Australia...

[ttmm1133]

BTW that was adressed to MrYamoto or whatever hes fuckin name is so Aussies dont think im insulting you :)

[Parkoski]

this song always makes me shed a mantear, and Australia is a wonderful country. if you dont believe me, come see it.

[soph9087]

u got that right i live there

[aussieinandalusia]

This song still brings a tear to my eye.

An ex-pat

[DarkKeybladeMaster23]

Maybe people in other countries should idk come and actualy experiance our country before saying crap about it cause y'know saying crap about other countries is how wars begin

[alphamone]

O.o

you used the original lyrics in the video (specificaly, the ones that mention rio), but the qantas lyrics in the song.

still, a very good song. (not to mention that rome fits that particular part of the song better)

[TheRealLaraCroft]

Living in the UK, I have had enough of sickly political correctness, seeing my fellow Aussie responses to Mr Mikimoto are spot on! Well done. How he can bring ramming a whaling boat into it, he must be a bit wonky upstairs.Aussies are not perfect, but hey, the vast majority of us are prepared to give anyone a fair go, if they are prepared to be part of the wider Aussie community, and work a fair day for a fair days pay and generally not eat endangred species!

[kfodom]

I love this song, and I'm not even Australian!

[Darknessraven]

I love being a Aussie, Im secretly Proud of our Poisonous (i suck at spelling) Wild life they make me proud, OH BTW i just read all the comments on here and i couldnt help but laugh, so hard i was crying, you guys are funny, seriousely tho, wat happened in our past stays there we cant go back and change it but we have moved on, i mean we should be thinking of where we are goin not where we have been. and Mr Yamanto SHUT UP.... this vid embodies the AUSSIE SPIRIT, not the JAP SPIRIT ok go to hell

[Treemeadow]

oh, if you love our deadly wildlife, you'll love the song "Come to Australia!" check it out, its hilarious!

[MsPlue]

Where's Uluru in this vid? Swap it for one of the shots of the Opera House ;)

[AussieSBTFloyd]

"recycler12".. your words are bloody beaut..''

i couldn't have said it better.. & i fully agree with every word you said :):):)...how dare any fuck wits from other nations judge us & what fucking right do they have to comment so negatively about Australia & our glorious freedom & our beaut way of life.

[recycler12]

In a fucking nutshell, if these cunts have negatives to say against Australia, then don't fucking live here, don't fucking visit..don't start on the Abo crap..all we want as ''AUSTRALIANS is to be left alone..to those who knock us & our way of life..i say FFFUUUCKK YYOOUUUU :) OI OI OI

[glittersniffer89]

Here here i dnt think i could have said that better myself.

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!! OI OI OI!!!!

[JonoHopkins]

I second that!

Go JUMP!

[ballerina63]

my ballet school used this for our concert performance in 07 as we were doing 'A World In Dance'. I was in the dance. I loved it. We got a standing ovation. Every said that the costumes were beautiful, choreography was beautiful & the movement & feeling was beautiful. I absolutely agree.

[meisnat]

i apologize for language and if i have offended any one but it is true, and i am a very opinionated and passionate person

[meisnat]

and with the hole aboriginals being treated badly, may i point out, that at the time, that's how white man treated everyone, think about America, they did it there to, SO SHUT IT --' there is more complications with history then people doing bad stuff, and i will tell you something, more of the FULL aboriginals have accept the past, its the half cast who want more compensation.

the jap ship thing

THEY CAN GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM OUR WATERS AND THE WATERS IN ANTARCTICA RESEARCH MY FUCKING ASS

[meisnat]

dear MrYAmato89, are you even Australian? like at all, cause seriously, im an Aussie and im damn proud.

the thing about the roo's is actually a humane thing, there are to many, and they over populate environments, and if the numbers don't get lessened a lot of them, starve and suffer worse, and you should no that killing a kangaroo and letting it suffer and bleed to death isn't legal, well in my state at least, you have to shoot them in the head so they die instantly.

[patcalisura]

I always wanted to be Australian because of this song..... How patriotic and romantic in a way!!!! Ausie...Aussie..ausie!!!

[medaman08]

this song almost brings a tear to my eyes when i listen to it

[sneakz001]

3: lequantam2 is correct. The roo is a national symbol and there are millions of them running around. yes, they are considered a pest. My Familiy has two farms in central NSW. shooting roo´s is normol, but not something we enjoy.

4. What attack are you refering to? the one where japs rammed the protestors? or when protestors climbed abored the whaling boat (peacefully without weapons). should we not remember how you claim this is research? what is it you are researching exactly?

[sneakz001]

1: You are correct. Australia was colonised by the english (if you knew your history of the world colonisation, much better the english, then say the spainsh as they would have been wiped off the race of the face of the earth).

By the way. didnt japan do the same thing to china in WW2? stealing children to raise in japan? how short your memory is..

2: See point one.

(continued)

[mattyo30]

u dumb jap bastard, we attacked the ship because its inhumane to slaughter whales for "research purposes". I could watch the splitting of the atom all day over Hiroshima. Its a great video. Take care mate

[puccaXrocks]

i noe i mean they're killin da whales 4 soup so we had 2 somthin right?

[lequantam2]

Hey Japmate,

What's the relevance between feelings of nostalgia for Australia with your comments? Aborigineses mistreated in the past, Australians were really sorry, PM Kevin Rudd officially apologized. Kangaroos "slaughtered" because there're too many, creating more than nuisance, versus Japs slaughterring protected whales on open seas. Japs ever sorry about atrocities Jap troops committed on the people in Southeast Asia? Come on Jap, feel sorry for past wrongdoings and leave your hate behind!

[MrYamato89]

Why did you deleted your video? YOUR A COWARD

[lequantam2]

What's up mate? Something wrong with you? The video is there. And watch your words mate and be a polite gentleman

[Hammersley1967]

@lequantam2

He called me a coward too...

[664ever]

Oh Gosh, how stupid to pull the Aborigines number. Yes, it happened, and Australia is surely not proud of it. You better discuss Korea and Nanking. Go and get your schoolbokos right before you waffle such nonsense.

[3017913]

Remember that time the japanese attacked the hawaiian shore... (aka pearl harbour) you wanna play that game...??? really???

[AusTimmm]

1. What you are referring to is British colinists killing aboriginals and they did this all over the world as did spanish conquestidors and just about every other major cultural group in those times.

2. aboriginal kids were not taken from their parents and sold for slavery. The "half cast" children were taken to be brought up as white people not as slaves. which comparatively was nothing compared to racial oppression In other countries happening in

[AusTimmm]

3. their meat is used and is a better source of protein than beef also kangaroo numbers are too high and need reducing

4. remember the time japanese attacked australia for no reason, remember the time the japanese bombed pearl harbour,. remember the time the japanese raped and enslaved innocent women and children in pow camps and then killed most of them so they wouldnt tell the world about it. and you complain about australians trying to prevent japanese from killing whales. good work A HOLE

[glittersniffer89]

Kangaroos are the rodants of the out back you drop kick they aren't being slaughtered and don't get me started on the whaling issue i could make you go cower in a corner with the things i could say about you sick bastards.

[ttmm1133]

Mate ive seen your rascist shit to Australians all over youtube and im fucking sick of it. how bout instead of making insults on youtube like a 2cm long dicked pussy and come and say it too our face!

[Halofame5stars]

@MrYamato89 ...have not seen ONE country that had not try to wipeout or remove some other race just so they can be at home .America is well known for trying to limitate others(Indian's,blacks, non christian's ect.)German's was with jews and pol's.Japan( won't even start there since we talking about a nation whole history for trying BE ONE SOCIALISTIC NATION).As for the whaling ship..Do you really know the whole story?Green Peace attack them first by the way.

[wolfwarp]

!..dude..

[EarlJohn61]

@MrYamato89 Sir may I suggest that you check your ancestry, I suspect that you have Ainu grandparents (note the plural)

[bits1010]

I like the pictures you have picked
