Latrell Mitchell has thrown his support behind a new version of Advance Australia Fair with lyrics that better reflect the nation s indigenous cultures.
The song was performed by Aboriginal performer Kutcha Edward during a live theatre production in 2013 but has gained popularity after a video of the performance was shared by Indigenous fashion label Clothing The Gap on Monday.
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.
