In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair. Beneath our radiant Southern Cross We'll toil with hearts and hands; To make this Commonwealth of ours Renowned of all the lands; For those who've come across the seas We've boundless plains to share; With courage let us all combine To Advance Australia Fair. In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair. Australia Remembers (on YouTube) (P McGee, J Littrich, N McCann) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvGLVONi1OE 1. What if we forgot about the dreams of countless men, Who gave their hearts, and their lives. Left their parents, kids and wives, To fight in wars to help preserve the freedom now enjoyed? 2. What if we forgot about the women left at home, Who kept the country, towns and farms, Running with their weary arms, Who struggled in the worst of times and waited for their men? Chorus Australia remembers them, they shall not grow old. We hope in looking back we learn, From history’s lesson we discern A means of bringing peace on earth, Lest we forget. 3. What if we forgot about aggressors at our door, Who tried to make the world a place, Where quality depends on race. Forgot all those atrocities or claimed they never were? 4. And what if we forgot about all those other lives, Victims of their circumstance, Who never even stood a chance, Lives that seem so futile now, unless we stop and think? Chorus x 2 then repeat the words “Lest we forget” .

Singing Our National Anthem
Singing our National Anthem It is traditional for many Lodges to sing our national anthem ‘God Defend New Zealand’ at regular meetings or particularly at installation meetings. This can be either during the installation ceremony or during refectory. ‘God Defend New Zealand’ is one of two official anthems. The second, ‘God save the Queen’, reflects our colonial past. ‘God defend New Zealand’ was elevated to anthem status in 1977 and has become the preferred anthem for New Zealanders both at home and abroad. ‘God save the Queen’ is usually reserved for formal ceremonies involving the Queen, the Governor-General or the royal family. Thomas Bracken’s poem, ‘God defend New Zealand’, was put to music in 1876 by J.J. Woods from Lawrence, Central Otago. The first Maori translation was made in 1878 by Native Land Court judge Thomas H. Smith, at the request of Governor Sir George Grey. Despite this, until the closing decades of the 20th century most New Zealanders were familiar only with the English-language version. This situation changed dramatically at the 1999 Rugby World Cup in England. Hinewehi Mohi sang ‘God defend New Zealand’ only in Te Reo Maori before the All Blacks versus England match. While it has been customary for Lodges to sing the ‘English’ version younger men have grown up with the anthem being sung in both Maori and English, to acknowledge our bicultural heritage, particularly before major sporting events. Accordingly if we wish to ensure Freemasonry is attractive and contemporary to younger men it is important that Lodges look at adopting the dual version when the anthem is sung during Lodge activities.

Fair Go’ Principle Which Suggests That Everyone Is Entitled to Fairness by Way of Shared Opportunity – Such As with Education, Health, Social Security, and So On
Australian society has long been imbued with a ‘fair go’ principle which suggests that everyone is entitled to fairness by way of shared opportunity – such as with education, health, social security, and so on. For advocates, this mantra underpins a society that, while unequal, is not characterized by vast differences in wealth and living standards (Herscovitch, 2013). To critics, though, the ‘fair go’ notion is either idealistic or completely unrealistic, as well as a distraction from entrenched differences of opportunity and power in Australian society (Lawrence, 2017). For Indigenous Australians, the notion of a ‘fair go’ in a society in which generations of Aboriginal peoples have suffered manifestly is particularly fraught (Tatz, 2017).1 Even the semantics of a ‘fair go’ can be construed as discriminatory by way of ‘race’:2 for example, ‘fairness’ has long focused on opportunities for fair skinned (i.e. White) Australians (Fotinopoulos, 2017). Revelations that in many parts of Australia during the early to mid-late twentieth century, Aboriginal children were forcibly removed from families and placed in foster care – under the guise of welfare – prompted a report into what became known as the Stolen Generations (Murphy, 2011). In 2008, the Federal Government issued a national apology and committed to a reconciliation process. This includes ‘closing the gap’ initiatives featuring twin efforts: to help all Australians come to terms with a harrowing history of racial discrimination and conflict, and to catalyze improvements to the lives of Aboriginal peoples (Gunstone, 2017; Kowal, 2015). In this article we are interested in the question of a ‘fair go’ for Indigenous peoples, particularly the role of Aboriginal voices in seeking to (re)shape symbols of identity, representation, and nationality.

Wagga-College-Song-Book-N.D..Pdf
FOREWORD For the first time since 1954 (when a song book was published to commemorate the Bathurst-Wagga Intercollegiate) the Publica tions Committee has been able to produce a Song Book which we hope will be a source of pleasure and interest to all students. We ask you to consider the variety of taste for which we had to cater and trust that we have included something that you might enjoy. The book is designed also to be closely linked to the Music course and will be used to advantage in "Sing-a- Longs" and lectures. It may also be found useful as a teaching medium and should be in a prominent position in future Music Method Books! The songs were selected mainly from the various 'Varsity and past College song books from Wagga and Armidale. We are grateful for the use of these. Gratitude must be extended to Mr. Orch ard, Miss O'Donnell, Adele V\Teatherall, Kaye White, Beverly Berry, Alan Lynch, Brian Bazzo, Peter Crittendon, John Hough and our artist Adrian Young. It is hoped that in future years this book will be used as a basis for bigger and better productions. Sing well, this 1s a "Sing-a-Long with Orch" made easy. DENIS SIMOND, President Publications Committee 3 Vivant omnes virgines, COLLEGE SO:NGS Faciles, formasae! Vivant et mulieres, Dulces et amabiles, Bonae, laboriosae.

Anzac Day Service 25 April 2020
Anzac Day Service 25 April 2020 Longbeach Anglican Church Welcome: On this day, above all days, we remember those Australian men and women who died or suffered in the great tragedy of war. On the morning of April 25th, 1915, Australian and New Zealand troops landed under fire at Gallipoli, and it was then and in the violent campaign which followed, that the ANZAC tradition was forged. The elements of that tradition have inspired and offered an enduring example to later generations of Australians. Each year we pay homage not only to those original ANZACs, but to all who died or were disabled in their service to this country. They enrich our nation’s history. Their hope was for the freedom of mankind and we remember with pride their courage, their compassion and their comradeship. They served on land and sea and in the air, in many places throughout the world. Not only do we honour the memory of those Australians who have fallen in battle; we share the sorrow of those who have mourned them and of all who have been the victims of armed conflict. On this day we remember with sympathy those Australians who have suffered as prisoners of war, and those who, because of war, have had their lives shortened or handicapped. We recall staunch friends and allies, and especially those of the first ANZAC Day. May we and our successors prove worthy of their sacrifice. Prayer: God of love and liberty, We bring our thanks today for the peace and security we enjoy, We remember those who in time of war faithfully served their country.
