    We have had the Closing the Gap annual statement in parliament. We are making some progress.

    And then we had the Indigenous Rugby league game between the Indigenous Australians and the Maori All Stars.

    As is usual in such games an anthem is played.

    The one chosen to represent the Indigenous Australians was Advance Australia Fair


    There was little enthusiasm among the team for this. In fact after the match Mr Cody Walker , the captain, said


    It doesn't represent me and my family”



    By contrast theMaori All Stars sang their anthem with gusto.

    So the question is


    WHY DID THE MAORI SIDE SINGAND THE INDIGENOUS

    TEAM NOT?”
