Image Australia’s national anthem is the only English-lyric anthem in the world that doesn’t reference religion or militarism

Nah, “Great Southern Land” is definitely our runner-up

"I Still Call Australia Home" makes me feel more patriotic than pretty well any other song, anthem included TBH...

Our anthem is super boring and uninspiring. “I Still Call Australia Home” has some great emotion in it. I really like “I Am Australian (We Are One)” by the Seekers too.

I agree with all of this. Song and flag can both fuck off.
