Fair dinkum ol’ mate and true blue Aussie, Shannon Noll performed the national anthem at the Cox Plate yesterday and people are having a right old sook about it. Nollsie belted out a ripper tune in the bloody classic country style that earned him second place in Australian Idol in 2003. All tarted up for the races in his spiffy little suit, Shanzo’s version of the anthem was a true ocker revelation — something we’d rate better than ‘What About Me?’ or maybe even the work of Barnesy himself.

But not all people felt that way. Taking to Twitter to badmouth this national treasure, a bunch of dodgy blokes accused him of “murdering” our sacred anthem. Some mistook his sense of Aussie pride as a sign of him being a bogan — a blimmin’ silly accusation to level at a country singer performing Advahnce Australya Feer after a few bevvies at the races at Moonee Ponds. Can’t get more classy than that, mate.

Nollsie soon put them right in their place though. He told Lachie66, the big drongo, that he can go get farked. Anyone who doesn’t love it can leave because they’re nothing but a straight-up #hater.

We know it’s the bloomin’ weekend and you’re probably having a mad barbie and smashin’ a couple of tinnies, but spare a thought for poor old Nollsie today. Maybe crank up some of his classic tunes and whip out your southern cross stubbie holders. This will be the last time those un-Australian nitwits ever get to our mate. We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Shannon Noll only ever cries a single fucken tear coz that’s all Shannon Noll ever cries coz he’s a mad fucken bastard.
