When there was a stray dog or cat around our homes as kids, remember our parents telling us not to touch it? Partly out of concern for fleas and worms, but more from concern that the animal would quickly become a family responsibility. The Arabs have a similar saying about camels to the effect that if you don't punish a camel for putting its nose under your tent, it will be sleeping with you. The Libs/Nats should have heeded the advice, but failed. Qantas is in the tent now. Well done Joycey! It's Australia's problem now.
