No, Australians are grouse.
Only Melburnians.
("Grouse" is Melbourne slang for cool, excellent, ace, sick, etc.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Maybe the whole "sheep boffing" thing is a misunderstanding.
You know, your ancestors were running from the law, they were arrested, and on whatever paperwork the police described them as being "on the lam".

Actually, my ancestors were free settlers and never boffed a sheep in their lives.
Just so we're clear.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Trudy, you need to take a time out after that one.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
OK, so, why were people being deported for sheep shaggage in the first place? What is the policy behind that? That's so incredibly inefficient! For goodness' sake, the Kinsey report on American sexual attitudes in the 1940s reported something like 25% of men having experienced bestiality (almost all were farmboys unaware of the social taboo)-- so I assume (on no evidence whatsoever) that maybe the rates of incidence were similar in other rural environments...that's a lot of "criminal" activity.
Not that I really want to get into a discussion of the relative merits of animal sex. I'm thinking about legislative policy. I think.

ita, I think your ancestors ferried goats from one location to another and loved it.
To this day couriered goat is a fondness, yes?

IIRC, old laws against animal, um, affection, had to do with fear of such relationships creating monsters.

Or maybe it's like laws against homosexuality: they're afraid that people will like it so much that the human species will die out.

Strawberry disappointment.
Actually Charles Edward Stuart had a fairly strong claim to the throne. And came very close to succeeding. He actually had the residents of London in a panic because he was just days away, but took bad advice and turned back. A decision that ultimately led to Culloden.
And Culloden was not Scotland against England. It was more Highland/Catholic versus Lowland/Presbyterian sensibilities than anything else. There were many Scots fighting on the side of Cumberland.
