This is the mouth-filling song
Of the race that was run by a Boomer,
Run in a single burst—only event of its kind—
Started by big God Noong from Warrigaborrigarooma,
Old man Kangaroo first: Yellow-Dog Dingo behind.
. . . —Kipling.
At Canberra last week the Commonwealth Government passed a law definitely prohibiting the importation of Alsatian Shepherd dogs ("German police dogs") into Australia. Bluntly, the legislature recommended extermination of the breed in Australia.
Reasons:
1) Alsatians worry sheep.
2) Alsatians in Australia cross-breed with the ferocious wild dingo, chief enemy of Australian flocks.
