There was an interesting little film in the 70s about cane toads.
They had the local policeman from up north saying that them hippies get the toads and boil them up and drink the liquor.
Which may, in fact, have been true, though I never tried it myself.
Down the other end of Australia they are quite keen to get the new pulpmill up and the last of the old-growth forests from the north-east of Tasmania processed into pulp before anyone works out how to stop them. The people who own Tasmania will get the cash, and the rest will be able to say that no late-drinking chardonnay-swilling mainlander told them how to run their state. Selling your birthright for a mess of pottage.
