So this piece of information does come as a surprise or maybe not. Not when you go through this particular detail .
What's the implication of this escalation & who's going to foot the bill ? Is it what I think this is ? Another planned extortion of the Aussies who even otherwise can't tell the front from the rear ?
What's more I've a feeling the Aussies have a real fetish of being taken for a ride by their Anglo cousins ! They actually look forward to it.

More than 13 million living in poverty, government figures show
The level rose slightly on the previous year while the number of children living in poverty has remained steady.

With history serving as a precedent , everytime things got desperate in little britain , they hopped on a boat crossed the sea & inflicted havoc on Paddyland.
Whilst there's no immediate danger , in a couple of generations you can bet your last pound , such measures wouldn't be inconceivable.
