Times have changed, people haven't.
Technology has changed, people haven't.
Greed, well greed has remained the same and uses all the technology that people (who do not change) have available!
So, let's not believe myths about Australia being "too far", when a pelican with a full beak of fish and a gummy shark chewing on its foot can fly up north to the nearest country!
& It's just scary to see what all crazy leaders of peoples on this earth have rockets nowadays.... and so on, and so on!
Reality is not nice!
