NT public schools mandated to sing the national anthem | ABC NEWS
Do you know both verses of Advance Australia Fair?
The Northern Territory is the only place in Australia to introduce a government mandate asking all public school students to sing both verses of the national anthem, at all assemblies and special events.
The Country Liberal Party says the policy will restore national pride, which they claim was “watered down” under the previous Territory Labor government.
But the education union isn’t sure why the NT government is making this a priority, when teachers are struggling with workloads and safety concerns.
