Except they are out working, visiting family, travelling, and - begad! -
going to the playground without getting arrested! Yep, that
does sound like a pretty good trade to me.

14,000 (their deaths) * 2.5 (our pop over theirs) = 35,000 Aussie deaths. 35,000 * 5.0M AUD = $175B AUD in 'statistical lives lost', without considering anything else.
Still seems like a pretty good trade to me...
