ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR

ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR

Our Australian National Anthem captures our Australian values but it also serves as a measuring stick for how we can measure ourselves.

Please let me read parts of our national anthem to you. 

AUSTRALIANS ALL LET US REJOICE,

FOR WE ARE YOUNG AND FREE;

Our anthem sings about Freedom.

We may be free but our neighbour West Papua is not free! 

Our government has put West Papua under Indonesian military control and sustains their killers.

Furthermore, I ask you - are we Australian’s really free? 

The same Australia Government that sustains the West Papuan genocide denies that genocide is taking place and does what it can to keep us in the dark. 

For 50 years the Australian government has kept us in the dark concerning the genocide.

You and I are under the same regime as West Papua.  By freeing West Papua we also help to free ourselves!

Let’s read some more of our national anthem.

WE’VE GOLDEN SOIL AND WEALTH FOR TOIL;

OUR HOME IS GIRT BY SEA;

OUR LAND ABOUNDS IN NATURE’S GIFTS 

OF BEAUTY RICH AND RARE;

IN HISTORY’S PAGE, 

LET EVERY STAGE

ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR.

IN JOYFUL STRAINS THEN LET US SING,

ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR.

We want Australia to advance and we also want Australia to advance fairly. 

Right now the Australian Government is struggling to advance because it too busy sustaining West Papua’s killers.

For Australia to advance further it must first free West Papua!  
We Australians call on our government to free West Papua!


West Papua! - Freedom!
West Papua! – Freedom!

We Australian’s are better than the evil that our government is doing to West Papua!

You and I can be “Agents of Change!” 

Together we are going to change the Australian government.
