Going to the Opera:
WHAT IF...
Australia was at war
What if Australia became the Ukraine of the Pacific – left to fight a US proxy war with China?
What if we were invaded by Israelis, Iranians, Indonesians, the Chinese, Russians, Americans – or Aliens?
What if there is no longer international law and bombing babies, hospitals and homes here becomes the norm?
What if drones over our beaches target surfers and sunbakers, not sharks?
What if New Year on Sydney Harbour was lit up by white phosphorous, not fireworks?
What If we must flee war as boat people or shelter in crowded refugee camps on our beaches
