tourists can be annoying, a lot of animals would attack and defend when they feel threatened in their natural habitat, and right they are.

Just as well that the koalas were on the ground.  You could imagine the outcome if they had dropped from above!

Are there any animals in Australia that won't try to kill you?

I think that even sheep and cute little furry poodle dogs might be ferocious animals in Australia!

Even a cockatiel - which are the nicest birds - might land on your face and rip your eyes out.

Anything in the parrot family needs to be respected.

An angry budgie might just draw blood - but anything bigger can start carving out bits of flesh.  Our brilliant sulphur crested cockatoo can be a terror.....
  They're not exactly a small bird:

The sulphur-crested cockatoo is usually found in pairs or small parties. But in southern Australia they often congregate in large flocks of up to a hundred noisy birds. These cockie mobs can get nasty and attack trees, decks and houses in a controlled frenzy of destruction that can go on for days.

I saw this variation of it today.

The larger the government, the smaller the citizen.

But.... What is the child greater than?!
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic; e.g., Cheez Whiz, Hot Dogs and RF.

Not really, the spiders have eaten most of the benign ones.
A Koala is a bad attitude wrapped in fur.

Well, the smaller skinks are usually ok - but watch out for the big ones...
