Does it embarrass the hell out of soulless droogs of the N(o) L(eadbeaters) P(ossums)? No way! They’ve paid good money for the removal of their frontal lobes.

Well at least we’re asking the right questions.

Right on the mark, Mr Dog. You can ask the same questions with the majority of our politicians as the subject matter and come to the same conclusions.

Except for #5 where the answer is: no, we cannot make any money out of them because they are about to stiff us for an extra $30M in an electoral rort. The Leadbeater’s possum is way better value.

It’s good as a midnight snack for a Powerful Owl.
I reckon they’d get much more support if they could fold their arms as adorably as that dog in frame 6 (question 5).
At least they’re cute and fluffy which might help people get behind their conservation (along with FD’s advocacy), unlike the poor Mitchell’s Rainforest Snail, Thersites mitchellae which is down to less than 500 poor slow slimy souls.
