Australia's national anthem changed to reflect 'stories of the many First Nations peoples'

Australia's national anthem, Advance Australia Fair, is being changed to better reflect Australia's Indigenous and multicultural history, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said. The second half of the opening line "For we are young and free" will be changed and the word "young" replaced with "one". Governor-General David Hurley approved the federal government's recommendation to amend the anthem for the first time since 1984.
