Apologies for the sarcasm but I can't help myself. It's probably best to assume I'm being sarcastic unless there's a frowny face.
Descriptions of pictures available but as 99.99% of people who look at my profile can see, I'll wait for requests.

There are many isolated peoples left on the planet - A few tribes in the Amazon, the Andaman Islands & perhaps a few others.
This is believed to be the photo of #Australia's last first contact with an isolated tribe.

I doubt freedom of speech was the issue in the case.
If he'd walked around Sydney with a sign on his chest that would've been fine but the SOH has the right not to be part of his protest.
There'd also be the issue over whether he acquired a permit for the protest.

That's only what the allies did to Tokyo in WWII. If the USA & its allies couldn't accurately target enemies in 1945 then I wouldn't expect much better from #Israel.

No system of government would work if it operated as its opponents say it does while if we allow proponents to describe their favoured option, we'd find they're all perfect.

Those arguing that countries with higher #renewable energy usage pay more for power ignore a basic fact.
It is first world countries like Norway, Denmark, Canada & Australia that have embraced green power - Of course they pay more.

If Virginia Giuffre were alive, she'd be a witness in a criminal case by now.
All that's left is hearsay which wouldn't make a strong case.

Well after what the Japanese had done, civilians in the allied powers accepted horrific slaughter in Japan.
Unlike Dresden, Tokyo was largely a wooden city when it the allies burnt c.100,000 people alive. Australians could be led to accept it against any new enemy.

#Climate models in the 1970s–90s were less advanced and many worst-case scenarios assumed little to no action.
