In Advance Australia Fair, Mr Vickery has replaced the line “for we are young and free” with “in peace and harmony”.
Mr Vickery has been behind a push to have a national anthem that is “more inclusive” as many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians view it as being offensive.
The federal government has given permission for the altered version to be sung as a “patriotic” song, but not as an official anthem.
Mr Vickery has also proposed a third verse.
