I think we will just send Bruce up there - he can still be president and we
can communicate with email. You can then take him out collecting all the new
species and colour forms and he can write articles for our publication. Just
don't let him near the Green Ginger Wine - otherwise you'll just have
another "troppo" Queenslander on your hands.
The other thing too is if you cut yourself while cleaning one of your
fishtanks you have a medico on hand to fix it up before it breaks out in
boils :-)

No, unless it becomes a human health problem they will just ignore it :(
