In 2001, Kirsty Martinsen was a promising young artist studying in New York — until her life was altered forever by the twin towers attack.

When Ms Martinsen found out about the attacks, she said her first instinct was to go downtown to find out what was happening.“I was like, what we’re in New York City and it’s a beautiful day and this is war, what is going on?”

She also came under financial stress as the hospitality work and odd jobs Ms Martinsen relied on to support herself while studying dried up. Ms Martinsen stayed in New York for two more years until she was forced home to Adelaide “because Australia has Medicare”.

National anthem the cause of inexcusable hurt but it's simple to fixThe lyrics of our national anthem are no stranger to change. It's time they changed again. As I said on SKY News: change ' we are young and free' to 'we are one and free'. I’m sure the song they come up with another group will find it offensive so just leave as it is. The vast majority find it offensive we are going to change the anthem so where does this leave us All good but as most don’t sing, know or care about verse 2 and 3 all this for one lousy word.
