	ZNet Commentary: Advance Australia Fair?
		Despite the fact that Australia’s official whites-only immigration policy was supposedly adjusted alongside its growing dependence on exports to Japan and other Asian markets decades ago, and thanks to the genocide of Indigenous Peoples, 92% of Australia’s population is white.
		From the genesis of the White Australia Policy, to its blocking the right of the federal court to review refugee review tribunal decisions to its support for the recent anti-refugee laws, its track record is little better.
		Australia talks about multiculturalism, Australia promotes human rights everywhere, so why chase another group of refugees...you’re using the army and things, people and military to chase people away.

	Advance Australia Fair
		Asian markets decades ago, and thanks to the genocide of Indigenous Peoples, 92% of Australia's population is white. New immigrants still come predominantly from Europe, the former Soviet Union, South Africa and North America.
		Over the past month, Australia has moved quickly to use the new laws, its soldiers boarding and forcing an Indonesian-registered vessel carrying asylum-seekers back into international waters within days of the passage of the legislation. Soldiers forcibly removed Iraqi refugees from a boat who were refusing to go ashore at Nauru.
		Figures released in mid-October show that Australia's policy of intercepting and diverting boat people to their ultimate destination has so far cost A $103 million. This does not include the cost of sending six frigates and several airforce planes to boost patrols for illegal immigrants.

		I mean you now my views on the Australian flag and even though, you know, when the opportunity was there I had a different view, I think that Advance Australia Fair has grown in affection in the hearts of Australians and the experience of it at the Olympic Games was extraordinary.
		Girt by sea needs to be celebrated and if we can't do that regularly when Australia enjoys its sporting triumphs, at the beginning or our school assemblies and I think something would be lost that is new and decent and essential to the Australian character.

	Advance Australia Fair - Local teams strong contenders for Farr 40 World title
		The Rolex Farr 40 World Championship is coming to Sydney this March, and there are a number of local teams looking to ensure the trophy remains there well beyond the end of the regatta.
		The biggest advantage in the Australian teams favour is perhaps the notorious ocean swell, which makes for challenging sailing beyond the shelter of Sydney Harbour.
		Richard Perini, owner/driver of local Farr 40 Evolution, says the conditions could prove crucial to the outcome of the forthcoming Worlds, hosted by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia from 1-4 March.

		Some of the lyrics, particularly the word "girt", are odd by modern standards, and the tune is perhaps not as inspiring as La Marseillaise, or Land Of Hope and Glory (the English anthem with a tune borrowed from Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance" march).
		Some ambiguity also comes from the popularity of Waltzing Matilda, which is almost universally regarded as a much finer tune and has been part of the Australian imagination almost since its composition 120 years ago.
		Australia's sons let us rejoice, For we are young and free; 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!

		South Australia has the distinction of being the only place where no convicts were sent in Australia, and so there is a very colonial feel left from the rich settlers who lived here.
