You ask how do they not resonate?
You are viewing the anthem through an Anglo lens in the 2000s. Consider the same lines from a late 1800s early 1900s viewpoint.
"For those who've come across the seas" is not a line about welcoming new citizens from all backgrounds but celebrating British colonisation and specifically ignores those who were already here.
"We've golden soil." Surely an Indigenous person particularly 100+ years ago would be thinking that golden soil was ours until you took it. It is a line celebrating the very land taken. Additionally it promotes the farming of that land rather than custodianship of the land as Indigenous culture promotes.
"Wealth for toil". Meaning hard work will be financially rewarded. At the time the song was written there was indigenous slavery. We still see white privilege and generational wealth more than any wealth for toil.
Even the line advance Australia fair is believed to be a play on words with fair meaning light coloured skin and promoting attitudes that would lead to the white Australia policy as much as meaning honest and just.
As for For we are one and free. Somehow people think changing the line young to one suddenly changes all the other racial undertones of the song. That change was made without any consultation with Indigenous leaders. I'm sure it was made with reconciliation in mind but a change made without consultation and the wording of that change is often perceived by Indigenous as an instruction to further assimilate to white Australia.
The above is common arguments I hear from many indigenous persons. When I hear someone speak to it, I find it hard to disagree. No amount of tweaking a lyric here and there will change the connotation of the original song.
