James Blundell Relishes Chance To Support The Australian Party

James Blundell declares writing The Australian Party anthem as one of the most important and fun projects he has worked on. James Blundell took to the stage at Katter’s Australian Party’s inaugural conference last weekend, to perform the anthem, revealing it for the first time. The legendary country music singer entertained delegates and Party faithful with his rousing performance of the song he penned especially for the Party.

In introducing himself, Blundell boiled it down to the Party’s name. “There’s three words on the board and I love them all. Katter, he’s a good man, honest, and they’re hard to find. “Party – that’s always fun. The big one (Australian) – that’s it. We live in the greatest nation on the face of the Earth and I don’t like seeing it watered down.”

Australian Party State Leader Aidan McLindon said the war of words that set the conference abuzz was put aside for a moment when Blundell took to the stage to perform the anthem. “He is such a passionate performer and a proud Queenslander, so it was no surprise to see him captivate the audience with his take on what needs to happen in this election,” McLindon said.

“It was a coup to have a star of James Blundell’s calibre perform but it was no surprise that Blundell wanted to lend his weight to the cause. “The Australian Party has earned a name for itself as the fun party and with artists like James Blundell delivering such a rousing performance, we are doing a great job of living up to our reputation. “The song he wrote and performed describes us perfectly – we are no slick unit of politicians here to preach to you. We are here to say – there is something wrong with this once great state and we are here to fix it.”

McLindon said Blundell aptly summed it up after his performance. “He put down his guitar and told the applauding and cheering crowd – ‘we’re all in this together’.” * To view James’ performance, click here or visit http://www.youtube.com/user/theaustralianparty
