Hi Alex,
Joe mentioned his fishing break.
Jon picked up the news that Australia is planning to eradicate 95% of the invasive European Carp, by introducing a disease.
He added: "What can go wrong?"
I listed some other already introduced items, most of which were either for entertainment, or control of pests. (I'm not sure about the ten pound immigrants). All of them have had big consequences.
About cane toads, see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cane_toads_in_Australia

btw, if you can ever understand my thought processes, you should consider transport to another universe.

Even with only 5% left after the virus does its job, won't those now super virus resistant carp still be more plentiful that the few that were accidentally released in the sixties?

But yeah, what could go wrong.

Rabbits. Specifically Australian rabbits, is it still a thing?

Bugs Bunny often used to emerge from his burrow, look round and say " Neeeyyyyyah, I musta taken the wrong toyn at Alberkoykee ".

Yes, it's true.

Joe, 'scuse me, but who is that?

I could do with hearing from Joe. I need his input on 2 projects.

Sorry Joe, I did reply but we seem to have lost them in the net somewhere. I'll PM you.

Thanks,

Certainly is - there is an infestation not far from here, after some misguided flood prevention measures cleared all the trees from a creek bank, creating a paradise for the burrowing creatures, which are now multiplying like bureaucrats.

As for European Carp, they are bottom feeders who dislodge the aquatic plants that native fish feed on, so they have to go too. Fishing clubs and local councils have annual "Carpfests" which get rid of tonnes of carp and produces lot of good fertiliser, but not in commercial quantities. On a line they are a good fighting fish, but they are full of bones (even more than trout) and very few people want to eat them, although they are farmed for the table, in Europe and Asia. If only we could train them to dine on Cane Toads
