Indigenous verse back on agenda

By Jonathan Atkins

Ridgeway has again raised the question about adding an Indigenous
verse to our national anthem.

Mr Ridgeway believes, "Most people seem to think the anthem is a
little on the dull side so I think we need to do something more to
bring it to life and give it connection back to country and that place
being Australia."

Gumbaynggirr elder Ken Walker and the Muurrbay Aboriginal Language and
Culture Co-operative have taken up the challenge.
