Why should they change it anyway? Do you think that there's something wrong with it?

why not they changed everything here. even our new dollar coin does not even say " In god we trust" and we don't say "on nation under god" in our pledge in schools. just let it be said I don't agree with any of it, you should not change what your country was built on

Not 'Waltzing Matilda'...it encompasses NO classic Australian values or traditions at all...Waltzing Matilda is, briefly, a song about a tramp who camps by a creek and steals a sheep. Three policemen arrive; rather than submit to capture, the tramp commits suicide by drowning himself in the creek.

It should be changed to "Waltzing Matilda". It's written by an Australian, and encompasses many classic Australian values and traditions. The anthem we have now doesn't even stand for anything, and is never really sung with any enthusiasm or patriotism.

The Australian Anthem is lame, and has little to do with our history...

In 1974 ‘Advance Australia Fair’ was adopted as the Australian National Anthem; however in 1976 ‘God Save The Queen’ was reinstated. In 1984 the Australian National Anthem, consisting of the tune of ‘Advance Australia Fair’ and the verses as drafted by the National Australia Day Council, was proclaimed. In 1977 the Australian Electoral Office conducted a poll for the national anthem tune in conjunction with a referendum. The tune ‘Advance Australia Fair’ was the preferred option. In 1981 the National Australia Day Council recommended that the Australian National Anthem consist of two verses of ‘Advance Australia Fair ‘with some modification.

Not exactly 'HISTORIC' in any sense...

I prefer the songs "I am Australian" or "I still call Australia home"
