  [Address to CEDA State of the Nation Tuesday 19 June 2012: "Some of you might have had lamb last night. Some of you may well have come from the land. But in 1900 there were 30,000 full-time shearers. Now there's about 3,000.
  But in 1900, there wasn't a single personal trainer to be seen. Even Edward Flack, who won our first gold medal, had to train in London. Now he'd probably be running a series of gyms, you know, training people in parks. There are 86,000 registered personal trainers in Australia. I mean, you know, we have Waltzing Matilda. I don't know if we have Waltzing Derrick, the step trainer, but you know maybe our anthems need to be uplifted."]

  ["The connection between the creation of the song Waltzing Matilda and events that occurred on Dagworth station during the shearing strike of 1894 is well attested"..http://www.waltzingmatilda.com.au/TheMusical.html]
