That's In Queensland is an Australian song and viral video by comedian Dennis Carnehan. The song parodies the selection of the Queensland State of Origin team for the annual rugby league State of Origin series.

History
In rugby league, a player had to have been born in either the State of Queensland or New South Wales in order to be selected for the respective State of Origin teams. After several years, it was noted that Queensland had selected players born in New South Wales cities. Carnehan was inspired to write parody song about it based on an advert for Bundaberg Rum. he song lists a Queensland players birthplace such as Sydney, Bowraville and Tenterfield with the question "where is....(eg. Sydney)?" then follows with the statement "that's in Queensland" with the final line of each verse being "Queensland's everywhere". Though the song lists several Queensland players born outside of the state, Carnehan does mention in it that New South Wales has done the same in selecting players not born in New South Wales.

In 2013 the selection rules were changed based upon Queensland selecting Greg Inglis whow as born in New South Wales but first played junior rugby league in Queensland. The new rules then permitted for players to be selected based on their parents birthplace or where they first played junior rugby league. As a result, Carnehan released an updated version of the song in 2013. Following New South Wales' victory in the 2014 State of Origin series, Carnehan released a new version where he apologised for the previous songs and listed players who had been born in Queensland but ended with stating that the Origin Shield was in New South Wales.

Cricket
Following the victory of the England cricket team in the 2013 Ashes series, Carnehan released a version of "That's in Queensland" called "That's in England" to parody the view that England were selecting players not born in England. Carnehan stated that it was an attempt to respond to England's Barmy Army. Former England and Kent player Geraint Jones expressed delight at hearing his hometown of Kundiawa, Papua New Guinea mentioned.

Media reference
Despite being popular in Australian national media, Brisbane-based Courier Mail utilised the song's chorus to list several Queensland benefits to Australia with the view that New South Wales were only complaining due to Queensland's larger amount of victories in State of Origin. In 2016, the song was referenced in media away from rugby league after Cate McGregor was named as Queenslander of the Year by the National Australia Day Council despite living in Canberra and not having lived in Queensland for over 40 years.
