I read about all your cold, ice and snow with some wonder but also with some happiness that I am not there. Having grown up in the tropics, I even find the subtropics difficult sometimes because of the cold. There is lots of space over here. All are welcome. I am unsure what the government red tape is like in trying to come here. But plants I can give you aplenty.
People pay big money to arrive here in rust buckets and unseaworthy ships as 'refugees' - tens of thousands of dollars. You read about the awful deaths when some of the boats sink. It is a political hot potato. I am not sure where they are housing boat people at the moment but usually in detention centres on islands. But they keep coming and coming and the Australian and Indonesian governments are at each others throats over it.
