Tell that to the Torres Strait Islanders, who are still being denied
Australian citizenship or independant status despite UN pressures, all while

Um... Torres Strait Islanders being denied Australian Citizenship?
I don’t think that is the case... or are you meaning those from the coastal area
of PNG (who are not Australian citizens, because they’re PNG citizens).
And strip mining in the Torres Strait? Where is that happening? (and who is not
being compensated?)

Unlike Puerto Rico, Hawaii had been seeking to become a State back in 1903, with Congress finally giving full consideration to the issue in the 1930's, well before WWII (...)
