There are some things that are so Territorian that you have to laugh so that you don't cry.
This morning, I heard about the Katherine airport and it's problems with kangaroos. Apparently, they get in the way of planes landing there and cause accidents. Skippy the terrorist.
The Northern Territory is not a state of a Australia so responsibility for it lies in the joint hands of the Commonwealth government and the Northern Territory government. Both like to blame the other for all the things gone wrong in governing and otherwise take the credit for all successes.
All the Katherine Airport needed was to be fenced. Kanagroos are quite easily defeated by fences.
The Australian Federal Government did just that. They had the place fenced.
The thing is that they fenced in a mob of kangaroos that were living there and like the proverbial rabbit, they have gone forth and multiplied. Now there is a huge number of plane endargering marsupial terrorists contained inside the land around the airstrip.
Whose fault is this? Who will fix it?
It's the other government's fault, of course!
