To be honest, I don't really care which song it is, but there is a poll on AdelaideNow at the moment on which song should be our national anthem.
I am suggesting an SA Footy sting to vote for Johnny Farnham's You're The Voice.
If we can get this up, it will be a win for the people!
Vote here.

Hopefully we'll get a "Chain Reaction"
At the moment we only have "Two Strong Hearts"

It is, in my view, too late to change our National Anthem.We all identify with Advance Australia Fair, we all know it and the world recognises us by it.
I do agree that we could perhaps have a better song as our anthem but as our recent federal election shows, give the public the chance to choose something and they'll only **** it up!
Leave the anthem as it is.

It's not the "Age of Reason" Booney, just vote for The Voice !!

Every time I hear the song 'True Blue' - it reminds me of Steve Irwin.

I stand whenever the national anthem is played.
I remove my hat whenever it is being sung.
I watch the cricket, at home, alone, and I stand.
I would never stand for another song so willingly...
It is Advance Australia Fair.
But to be a smartass, You're the Voice...

I am not amazed that You're The Voice is nowhere near it, I AM amazed that our current anthem is not winning.
