- Andrew, in the end if we *want* to cull kangaroos we will simply do
- so on the basis of reasoning which appears fine with us, without at
- all bothering to further attempt arriving at the endless explanations
- foreign lawyers and activists may or may not find acceptable. I have
- no case to make, and I have no interest whatever in your philosophy.
-
- What has happened here in fact, on the basis of persistent attacks
- from overseas on the various issues we are addressing, is that we do
- what we feel is necessary and/or appropriate under our sovereign powers
- and then just keep quite about it.
-
- You may appreciate that we are really quite civilised here; tolerant
- and amenable to discussion, up to a point. In other countries you are
- just as likely to be deported, imprisonned, or shot if the situation
- became extreme.
-
- I neither care how many times you have been here. Until you become a
- citizen of *this* country, if you don't happen to like it just stay
- home, yes?
