This may shock you but...

Koalas are a pest on Kangaroo Island (KwahMengLee should know this, being a Perth boy) and there is a HUGE uproar everytime they want to cull them. Thing is - many moons ago, before white man invaded Australia, perhaps before man in general invaded Australia, Kangaroo Island was flush with koalas, then, before settlement, they all died out. Why? Because they bred like rabbits and ate all the vegetation until there was nothing left to feed on and starved to death. So what did we do in our infinite wisdom? Well, you can't have an Australian Island tourist attraction without koalas... that's right, they reintroduced them into the environment and consequently, Kangaroo Island is screwed.

I'm not exactly one for culling or wholesale slaughter but really, I wanna see this movie (and Koalas Do Kendo, you think AKR would fund that?)
