ok I AM sorry as it appears that to get my point across I HAVE offended some - my apologies as my intention was NOT to offend anyone.
The original question for this thread was introduced animal species of which I did mention that my ancestors were immigrants by stating 'still an import initially'
In hindsight I agree that mentioning Pauline Hanson was ridiculous to say the least...
re: 'Have you been to eg Garden City to play 'Spot the Aussie' lately?' - my point was that if you go to any large shopping centre you will rarely, if ever, see an aboriginal therefore there are a lot of introduced animal species and channi I am sorry you were on the defensive and took offence as that was not what I meant.
my concern is for the way we as immigrants, including myself, have taken over native fauna (and flora) habitats for our own convenience and left them without a home.
and boa when I said 'You said it for me...' I was referring to your sentence - 'It's also funny that white humans can consider themselves Australian even if not born here but introduced animals that have been here for 100's of years are exotic pests and guess which one does the most harm ?'.
Look I could go on forever apologising but I suppose someone will just analise my apology then. So a sincere big hug and apology to all those I have upset.
