ah heading way off topic here, but it's not Australia-wide laws,
they differ in each state and it's mainly just NSW that's funny
about roo meat. In SA it's in all supermarkets and most
restaurants, since moving back here from Sydney I've eaten more
roo steaks than beef (love roo meat). PS. tastes like strong
flavoured (gamey) beef, nothing like chicken!
