Comments by "John Woodrow" (@johnwoodrow8769) on "UN committee finds Australia violated the rights of Torres Strait Islanders" video.

  1. The Torres straight Islands are part of Australia, in the state of Queensland. So the UN expects Australian citizens (via the governments tax receipts) to pay compensation to a groups of its own citizens for 'climate change'. If the fishing has gone to crap after years of overfishing and poor land and reef management practices call it what it is.

  2. While this news item doesn't name the islands, a likely one is Saibai. Some facts about this glorified mangrove swamp with a LONG history of flooding....... "Saibai Island is located 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) south of the Papua New Guinea mainland, formed by deposited alluvial silt. The island is about 21.8 kilometres (13.5 mi) in length by 5.2 kilometres (3.2 mi) in width, and is flat, predominantly mangrove swamplands, with the highest point being 1.7 metres (5 ft 7 in) above mean sea level, and prone to flooding during the wet season, which coincides with king tides. The main village of Saibai, in the northwest, has a population of 171. The second village, Churum in the southwest, numbers 128." "After Saibai Island was devastated by abnormally high tides wave after World War Two, a group of Saibai islanders accepted Government assistance to resettle on Cape York. The village of Saibai was totally flooded by 10 metres (33 ft) of water." Seems there is NOTHING new about flooding of the island.

  3. IF the sea level has risen and causing problems not previously experienced due to man made climate change, then surely that outcome is the result of all nations 'violations', primarily the 'big polluters' e.g. China, USA, India. So shouldn't it be the UN, the authors of the report, who should apologize and pay the compensation???

  4. Don't you mean "their government". They are Australian citizens.
