Maybe I am looking at this wrong, but it doesnt seem to be a huge leap in logic 
that if one
specimen made it to our shores on the east coast, others can make it too? I for 
one am glad the
west coast scientists seem to have a more responsible attitude to this species. 
I do not understand
why anyone would want to take the risk to see australian wildlife devastated by 
yet another
invasive species.
