Latrell Mitchell has thrown his support behind a new version of Advance Australia Fair with lyrics that better reflect the nation s indigenous cultures.

A number of well-known Australians pledged their support by commenting on the post, including paralympic swimmer Monique Murphy, netball player Courtney Bruce and Indigenous reality TV star Telv Williams.
Vocal anthem critic and Aboriginal NRL star Latrell Williams also shared the post in his Instagram stories. ....
