     @glynmoody that's a lot more than 2 or 3 accidental deaths. The second time I've seen today that Australia has involvement in government sponsored "massacres" - the other was today's Juice Media video about Myanmar. I dread to think what the world would be like without a free media to report these atrocities.

     @glynmoody Ah, our allies, Saudi Arabia. Well, I guess they’re at least not not carrying out genocide so not too shabby as far as our allies go.
