You would never get close enough to do anything with a quokka. The police would arrest you , throw you in the local jail and beat you repeatedly with clubs and then you would meet "Bubba" a seven foot tall 400 pound aborigine who loves to do anal to prisoners who try to harm quokkas!!.

3. Azaria Chamberlain died in 1980, so that dingo would now be 39+ years old.
4. Dingoes sometimes live for up to 10 years in the wild, but more commonly 5-6.
5. Azaria died in NT, near Uluru.
6. Goog. says it's nearly 3000 km (road distance) between Uluru and Fraser Island.

7. An enquiring mind? Really?

Would it improve your mood if I said 'cynical minds' instead?......ah well-to misquote Wilde "two great countries separated by a common language..."

Sounds somewhat more accurate. Was it ever really about the dingo, though? Media cynic asks rhetorical question.

Pretty sure I've told you before... or did I merely imagine it?: my vef "location" once used to read "Not the West Island". Third time lucky?

... or do you eat Vegemite sandwiches?

And by laws on gun control. Don't forget that.

Well since you ask-Yes. I would guess that quite a lot of kiwis thought-on reading the latest incident "I wonder if it was the same bloody dingo...?"-after all the Azaria case got a LOT of coverage here-both parents were Kiwis after all...and the dingo trope is well and truly embedded here..

Personally-though I have eaten vegemite sandwiches...I much prefer it on toast-but this too is covering ground we have both been over before....

I don't remember that part of the song.

Yes, I was earlier asking whether that was ever really all about the dingo. Even back in 1980 the Australasian media were at least mildly rapacious.

Difficult to say with absolute certainty, but the reasons given earlier suggest...

Out of interest, do you have any areas in Australasia where it would be irresponsible not to have firearms?

Dangerous predators are an excellent reason to have them if you live isolated, but do you have any?

Depends how many easter eggs you think you deserve.
