Many Australians aren't happy with 'Advance Australia Fair' as their national anthem and many of those would like it changed. On the other hand there are those who are happy with it as is.

'Anthem Australia' was founded with the goal to give every Australian the opportunity to really have their say about this issue, to make it count and to make it happen. And in the process conduct a 'Political Science Experiment' into voting.

As a step towards this goal a Forum has been set up where you can have your say and vote anonymously. And, importantly, you can change your vote as the issue progresses. This Forum is free. However, to participate you will need to register as a member and have an email address to activate your registration (Note that your User Name can only be a 'number'. This restriction is to reduce spam registrations. To see the User Numbers already used goto the Forum Memberlist).

For those who would like the anthem changed an improved version has been developed by 'Anthem Australia'. It has been re-titled 'Australia' and is still sung to the same tune as 'Advance Australia Fair'.

If, after consideration by all interested Australians, a different anthem gains the support of the majority of Australians, then Parliament will be petitioned to have a referendum on the issue.

All contributions to this debate are welcomed. However, any that are not relevant, accurate or are unfairly offensive will be removed.
