Bruce D	Australian national anthem (21)	RE: Australian national anthem	31 Mar 19
One of the important roles of an National Anthem, is what the tune sounds like, and when played purely musically its a very strong National Anthem, where as "I am Australian" doesn't work at all. I have spent many occasions standing at attention, saluting the Australian Flags while the "Advance Australia" is played. Yes the words aren't great but the tune is stirring. The compromise is to use both, "Advance Australia" as the National Anthem when a musical Anthem is required (Cermonial, Flag Raising etc) and "I am Australian" as the Anthem when its required to be sung (Grand Finals, show openings etc).
