Japanese culture, honne & tatemae are concepts that describe the difference between one's true feelings & public behavior. Honne (本音) refers to one's true thoughts & feelings, while tatemae (建前) is the outward facade or social behavior presented to others. This distinction is important for understanding Japanese social interactions and maintaining harmony within group-oriented society.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Honne (本音) - True Feelings:
Honne represents a person's genuine thoughts, emotions, and intentions.
It is often kept private, especially in public settings or with those outside one's close circle.
In some cases, honne might be shared with very close friends or family.
Tatemae (建前) - Public Face:
Tatemae is the public persona or behavior that is presented to the outside world.
It is often used to maintain harmony, avoid conflict, and uphold social norms.
Tatemae can involve being polite, indirect, or even making white lies to avoid causing offense or discomfort.

Tasmania Australia :
Tasmania's main island was inhabited by Aboriginal peoples for up to 40,000 years before British colonization. The island was permanently settled by Europeans in 1803 as a penal settlement of the British Empire.
The Black War was a period of violent conflict between British colonists & Aboriginal Tasmanians in Tasmania from the mid-1820s to 1832. The conflict, fought largely as a guerrilla war by both sides, claimed the lives of 600 to 900 Aboriginal people & more than 200 British colonists.
The Port Arthur massacre was a mass shooting that occurred on 28 April 1996 at Port Arthur, a tourist town in the Australian state of Tasmania. The perpetrator, Martin Bryant, killed 35 people & wounded 23 others, the worst massacre in modern Australian history. The attack led to fundamental changes in Australia's gun laws.
(Prior to this / before this happened )
After quitting a national gun summit in 1987, 8 years before the massacre & following 2 mass shootings in Melbourne earlier in 1995, Premier of New South Wales Barrie Unsworth said: "it will take a massacre in Tasmania before we get gun reform in Australia", referencing Tasmania's resistance to gun law changes. A redesign of the laws for all states & territories of Australia had been prepared by officers & presented at a meeting of police ministers in Launceston in 1995. It had been rejected by Tasmania.
