The national anthem is for ‘all of us’: NRL players refuse to sing after Voice defeat

Shadow Fisheries, Forestry and Environment Minister Jonathon Duniam says the national anthem is for “all of us” and is not divisive or racist.

This comes as players on the Kangaroos NRL team refused to sing Australia’s national anthem, following the defeat of the Voice to Parliament referendum.

“Despite what some say, it represents this country and all of us,” Mr Duniam told Sky News host Peta Credlin.

“The fact that there are some people who think it’s a bold and brave thing to do to stand there silently, bringing shame on your country as a matter of fact when you do that, I think is outrageous.

“The idea that people get upset by these things does not properly assess how resilient I think Australian people actually are.”
