If you’re one of a tribe living in the jungle of West Papua, then yeah, it’s basically survival of the fittest there with no electricity or modern amenities. If you’re living in a city then it’s no different than the rest of the region, but with small risks of armed conflict with the separatist group.

For some reason New Guinea is included with Australia, even though the western half is owned by Indonesia, and the eastern half is its own country. Either way with the civil war going on there at the moment I’d much rather be living in Australia!

You realize those are geographic boarders not polticals ones? New Guinea is included because, like Australia, everything in nature is going to kill you.

Umm I don’t think New Guinea is part of the Australian continent. I live in Australia and they definitely didn’t teach us that in school
