A 17-year-old has made history in Australia by being the first person to sing the national anthem in an indigenous Australian language at an international sporting event. Olivia Fox, who is Wiradjuri, led Advance Australia Fair at Sydney's Bankwest Stadium on Saturday night, singing it in the Eora language and then in English. The strength and emotion of her ground-breaking performance was widely acclaimed. Fox, who is a student at Newtown High School of the Performing Arts in Sydney, speaks to Susie Ferguson.
