‘Overwhelming’: David Nduwimana’s rise from refugee to national performerMusician David Nduwimana reveals how he has gone from arriving in Australia as a refugee to performing the national anthem at the Australia Day Live Concert in front of the steps of the Sydney Opera House. Mr Nduwimana said a few years after arriving in Australia, he met former Rugby Australia CEO Rob Clarke. “In 2017, I had a conversation with him. I was talking to him about how I loved the national anthem of Australia,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “I love the dynamic of the song and the words – the words are inclusive; that’s what makes me feel connected to that.” Mr Nduwimana said he became a permanent citizen in Australia around the time Mr Clarke became interim CEO of Rugby Australia. “He (Rob Clarke) said, ‘you know what, I want to celebrate this day’, then he gave me the opportunity to sing.” The musician sang what is widely recognised as one of the best renditions of the national anthem on the night of the third 2020 Bledisloe clash between the Wallabies and the All Blacks. “It was really overwhelming, it was really interesting and exciting times for me to be able to stand up there and just express my heart and my gratitude to everyone, to all Australians and all the people who had been behind the scenes helping me to get through everything,” Mr Nduwimana said.

Politicians love ‘disunity around Aus Day’ because it ‘keeps us from pointing the finger’ at themSky News host Cory Bernardi says the “minority outrage” over the date of Australia Day is a distraction to prevent us from identifying “the real problem and apportioning the blame where it belongs”. “To our politicians, of all political stripes,” he said. Mr Bernardi said Australia’s politicians have spent “decades not addressing the substantive long-term issues that actually need to be sorted”. “That head-in-the-sand approach has left us with one of the highest costs of living anywhere in the world. “Our housing prices are sky high, food costs are massive, while electricity prices alone are crippling household budgets.” He said politicians are “letting us down” and “have become a class of their own”. “Insulated from the real-world concerns as they are cushioned by fat salaries, first-class travel and an attentive entourage. “They love the minority rabble-rousers creating discord and disunity around Australia Day because it keeps us from pointing the finger of blame at them.”
