Their discovery proved millennia of continuous Indigenous existence. Now time is running out for those who want to stop them being buried again
It might have seemed relatively uncomplicated half a century ago to take the ancient remains of Mungo Lady and Mungo Man from the dry bed of the Willandra Lakes in New South Wales.

Was two decades of war worth the price in human life, enduring suffering and monetary cost? It depends who you ask
During the two decades in which Australia was ensnared in an unwinnable war after trailing the US into Afghanistan, a succession of our political leaders spoke reassuringly about how they would not desert the Afghans.
“We will not abandon Afghanistan,” the then prime minister Julia Gillard declared in 2011.
