I Am Australian
"I Am Australian" (or "We are Australian") is a popular Australian song written in 1987 by Bruce Woodley of The Seekers and Dobe Newton of The Bushwackers. Its lyrics are filled with many historic and cultural references, such as to the "digger", Albert Namatjira and Ned Kelly, among others. Its popularity has allowed it to join the ranks of other patriotic songs considered as alternatives to the Australian national anthem, "Advance Australia Fair". It is commonly taught in primary schools.〔http://www.bungareeps.vic.edu.au/uploads/1/0/3/0/10300962/i_am_australian.pdf〕
There have over the years since the song's release been calls for it to become Australia's national anthem, notably in 2011 by former Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett.
== Festivities ==
"I Am Australian" is popular at celebrations such as Australia Day and New Year's Day, as it celebrates the diversity of Australian society – the lyrics to the chorus emphasise this: "We are one, but we are many, and from all the lands on Earth we come, we share a dream and sing with one voice – I am, you are, we are Australian."
"I Am Australian" is sometimes played at citizenship ceremonies, and is often sung by Australian fans at numerous sporting events. It was sung by The Seekers at the 1994 AFL Grand Final.〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v22SPtCFck8〕
