A New National Anthem

That Australia should become a republic, change its flag to a piece of corrugated iron and change its national anthem is given. The only question that remains is 'change its national anthem to what?' I would suggest And the Band Played Waltzing Matlida by The Pogues. It's the image of Australia most Australians like to believe; a eulogy of Australia itself, it containes "hell", "ass" and "tit" to keep the kids giggling, it finishes, teasingly, with a single refrain of Waltzing Matilda, appeasing the masses who would have the national anthem champion a theif, and at over eight minutes in length I for one would relish hearing it played at the Olympics and before football finals of every code.
