Australia, a former British colony, changed its national anthem for the first time.
According to the news agency Reuters, the Australian government confirmed the changes in the national anthem on the first day of 2021 and said that significant changes were made in the second line of the national anthem.
The Australian anthem is in English, but it is also sung in the old and native languages, and people from this land have been changing the anthem.
Australia's most recent anthem was announced at the government level in 1984 as the national anthem.
Earlier, the Queen of Great Britain was praised and played at the official level in Australia.
According to the American broadcaster CNN, the anthem, which was considered the national anthem at the government level in 1984, was initially composed in 1878.
The anthem was originally written with the culture and love of Indigenous Australians in mind, but at the time Australia was under British rule and had been reorganized, so it used words that showed Australians used to be a new nation.
The natives were angry with the government for presenting Australians as a new nation in the anthem and had long demanded that the anthem be changed.
After a long struggle by the locals, finally on January 1, 2021, the Prime Minister of Australia, Scott Morrison, confirmed in a newspaper article that the national anthem had been changed.
In the second line of the national anthem, we will now use the words 'another free' instead of 'young and free'.
The new modified anthem is expected to be sung by other government officials, including the Prime Minister, on Australia Day on January 26, followed by a new set of music.
The changes to the national anthem come at a time when Australia has seen massive protests over the government's mistreatment by so-called indigenous people in recent years.
Although a new generation of people was settled in Australia during the British rule and now there are people from many countries and races of the world, the ancient natives are still known as (INDIGENOUS) tribes.
Locals have been protesting against government jobs, the law and the mistreatment of them, and their rights have been acknowledged in numerous government reports.
At a sports event in early December, the young singer, who belongs to an older generation, sang the national anthem in Australia's ancient language, to which she was praised.
Locals initially welcomed the changes to the national anthem, calling it a victory in Australian history.
The ancient Australians claim to have lived there for 6,000 years and were later reduced to a minority by the British.
