‘Genuine emotion’: Ella brothers, Wallabies say dual-language anthem can become new normal – Sydney Morning Herald
After an Indigenous schoolgirl and the Wallabies sang the national anthem in two languages in Sydney, many hope it can become common practice.
It was fantastic and a great performance. It was a real acknowledgement of Aboriginal culture.
The version sung by Fox, which has been sung by other indigenous singers and choirs at events but never at a national sporting team fixture, was in the ‘the Sydney language’, which was traditionally spoken by the Eora and Dharug peoples. It is not a direct translation of Advance Australia Fair.
