Advance Australia Fair replacing God Save The Queen as the National Anthem.
On 9 April 1974, Prime Minister Gough Whitlam announced in Parliament that Advance Australia Fair was now the national anthem and was to be used on all occasions. On 22 January 1976, the Fraser government reinstated God Save the Queen as the national anthem.
Advance Australia Fair (with modified lyrics and reduced to two verses) was again adopted as the Australian national anthem by the Labor government of Bob Hawke, coming into effect on 19 April 1984.
