What social & environmental damage white man has done in 200 years of occupation of your country is shameful.

A beautiful culture destroyed by ours...

Very interesting.

Apparently airline pilots landing at Alice Springs have complained about the silver glare from thousands of empty wine bladders that litter the area around the 'Alice'.

Aussies stop eating whales, dolphins, and kangaroos! You must stop eating them. Instead eat chicken, fish, grains, fruits, and vegetables! You can make a difference!
