You have to wonder. Here we are in our own swamp, up to our eyebrows with crocodiles, alligators and serpents (like homelessness, deprived children and inadequate parents) and all we seem to be thinking about is 150 of another country's problems. Common sense and reason have been replaced with fuzzy thinking. We should be thanking heaven for the Tasman Sea and getting on with our own solutions.
