Message: [QUOTE="Midean, post: 3190297, member: 10185"] The kiwis got it right. They sing the anthem, then sing it again in the native tongue. New Zealand are a good example of doing things right these days it seems. I would object to an indigenous anthem and flag, as that's still an example of segregation. I would, however, welcome a flag and anthem that was representative of all Australians, regardless of their heritage. The bottom line is this. There is not a patch of land on this planet that has not been invaded and displaced local natives. It is the evolution of our species to spread to the four corners of the earth and multiply, as the population increases, more land is needed to live on. Its a horrible truth, and the further you go back in history, the worse it gets. It still happens to this day but on a far smaller scale (think Russia annexing Crimea in 2014). Australia was never, ever going to stay isolated from the world and remain under the occupation of one group of people. It is well past time we embraced all cultures in Australia as AUSTRALIANS and be thankful we are all blessed enough to live here. [/QUOTE]
