A Victorian school that invited Muslim children to walk out of assembly before the national anthem was played has been criticised by parents and maverick Senator Jacqui Lambie.
Cranbourne Carlisle Primary School said Shia Muslim students were allowed to skip the anthem because during the month of Muharram taking part in joyous events such as singing and listening to music is frowned upon as it is a time of mourning, the Herald Sun reports.
Lorraine McCurdy, who has two grandchildren at Cranbourne, told radio station 3AW she "saw red" when children were invited to leave before singing 'Advance Australia Fair'.
"Two children got up and said 'welcome to our assembly' with that a teacher came forward and said all those who feel it's against their culture may leave the room," Ms McCurdy said.
"With that about 30 or 40 children got up and left the room.
"We sang the national anthem and they all came back in.
"I saw red, I'm Australian and I felt 'you don't walk out on my national anthem, that's showing respect to my country."
Independent Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie said she found the whole situation "disgusting".
"I find that absolutely devastating, we should all be singing the Australian national anthem and we should be doing that with pride," the senator said.
If these pricks don't want to go our way they should go the highway. I can't believe how teachers are giving them the option to leave! SO their culture first Australian second? Poor sooky la la Muslims?! They may be offended ? I am aware they bastardised the national anthem in the 80's to make it more multi culti anyhow.. now even the bastardised version isn't PC enough?
Since the original lyrics were written in 1879, there have been several changes, in some cases with the intent of increasing the anthem's inclusiveness and gender neutrality. Some of these were minor while others have significantly changed the song. The original song was four verses long. For its adoption as the national anthem, the song was cut from four verses to two. The first verse was kept largely as the 1879 original, except for the change in the first line from "Australia's sons let us rejoice" to "Australians all let us rejoice". The second, third and fourth verses of the original were dropped, in favour of a modified version of the new third verse which was sung at Federation in 1901.[
The original lyrics published in 1879 were as follows:
Verse 1
Australia's sons let us rejoice,For we are young and free; We've golden soil and wealth for toil,Our home is girt by sea;Our land abounds in Nature's giftsOf beauty rich and rare; In hist'ry's page, let ev'ry stage Advance Australia fair.In joyful strains then let us sing,Advance Australia fair.
Verse 2
When gallant Cook from Albion sailed,To trace wide oceans o'er,True British courage bore him on,Til he landed on our shore.Then here he raised Old England's flag,The standard of the brave;"With all her faults we love her still""Britannia rules the wave."In joyful strains then let us singAdvance Australia fair.
Verse 3
While other nations of the globe Behold us from afar,We'll rise to high renown and shine Like our glorious southern star;From England soil and Fatherland,Scotia and Erin fair,Let all combine with heart and handTo advance Australia fair.In joyful strains then let us sing Advance Australia fair.
Verse 4
Should foreign foe e'er sight our coast,Or dare a foot to land,We'll rouse to arms like sires of yore,To guard our native strand;Britannia then shall surely know,Though oceans roll between,Her sons in fair Australia's land Still keep their courage green.In joyful strains then let us sing Advance Australia fair.*
The 1901 Federation version of the third verse was originally sung as:
Third verse:-
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,We'll toil with hearts and hands;To make this Commonwealth of ours Renowned of all the lands;For those who've come across the seas We've boundless plains to share;With courage let us all combine To advance Australia fair.In joyful strains then let us sing Advance Australia fair!*

After filling suitcases with items demanded by her fussy terrorist husband, Fatima Elomar could barely contain her excitement about reuniting with him in a Middle Eastern war zone.
"Row row row your boat, Sneak up in the stream, Lock n load in Mujadid Mode, Islamic State Shaheeds," she sent to her now-dead extremist husband Mohamed Elomar on April 8, 2014, using the messaging app 'Tango.
"Inshallah I'm going to be there soon."
Her morbid adaptation of the popular children's tune was revealed in documents tendered at Sydney's District Court, where the 30-year-old on Friday appeared briefly for a sentence hearing.
