What, like a fan dance? Or a peep show?

Sounds like the whole nation is too blotto to keep the lights on for very long. Maybe Trump should buy it and turn things around cuz he's so good at that.

Surely, Senator Cleaver Greene has a position on this matter...(video in link has NSFW language).

For those not in the know: "Rake" starring Richard Roxburgh is a brilliant, hilariously sardonic Australian five-season series. Available on Netflix in the US. American TV tried to bring a stateside version with Greg Kinnear but it justly disappeared after a handful of episodes. 

And can someone explain why Oz keeps disappearing? Totally irresponsible for a continent to keep doing that.

To my knowledge kangaroos don't defend territory from humans. They do, however, assume they can outrun anything so if a person or car is approaching them at an angle, they will alter course to try and get ahead of you, rather than passing behind. This isn't good for anyone.

But mostly, they aren't too bright.

Was wondering if joggers bounce somewhat like male kangaroos and that is what catalyzes the territorial attack.

Humans sometimes appear to enjoy violent conflict; animals are different perhaps more rationale though I suppose that some mating rituals can appear a tad excessive.   Evolution favours replication, not excellence.

A bloke I worked with wasn't exactly beaten up by a kanga but one collided with him when he was orienteering and bruised him pretty badly. I think the roo got off worse,though.
