@swirlie Thats a moot point..Australia was founded as a convict colony originally. So I guess we could revive that for America.. If they ever get around to jailing the pr*ck..But there doesnt seem to be any will to do that. And there is the other problem. After our experience with rabbits, cane toads, european wasps and fire ants, we do have a strong "noxious pests" act to get around..Personally I believe the Australian public will be sure to give him a welcome that will be a security nightmare.😷

Yes, a moot point so very true! I seem to recall Australia being thought of as the Alcatraz Island of Great Britain back in the day, so to speak. I wrote a literary piece for a senior high school writing contest I had entered prior to starting university, where my assertion for criminal activity that is prevalent in crime families lies within the genetic blueprint of each family member's DNA and is therefore not a learned behavior. That DNA is assumed to be passed-down from a parent.
I also asserted that criminal activity among a family's offspring where the father was deeply involved with criminal activity, almost always excluded the mother of the family because she did not share that DNA that her children all shared with their biological father.
I concluded that in those cases, criminal activity among children was something that became manifested through the passing-down of genetic coding from father to son (or father to daughter) and therefore, any resulting criminal activity among those children in later life could be genetically linked back to the biological father's criminal behavior but not the mother's.
I have often wondered if the criminal minds of males who ended up being shipped to Australia from Great Britain, had ever passed-on those biological genes to any offspring they subsequently fathered and if they had, it would in theory (according to me), give rise to an increase in violent crime experienced in Australia which otherwise would not be genetically present among people who had been born and raised for at least 4 generations in Australia?
I say 4 generations because a genetic trait within a family bloodline will disappear completely after the 4th generation in all cases.
If those males who'd been incarcerated in England however, had NEVER married while in Australia, assuming they had gotten out of jail and led a normal life thereafter, then this theory of mine wouldn't be an issue.
One would have to wonder as well that if they were sent off to Australia by the King of England, did they ever get out of jail to even make this argument, or were they permanently incarcerated within an Australian prison and experienced no female contact thereafter?

@swirlie Without addressing your DNA based ideas for or against, I do feel bound to point out that the percentage of actual convicts who contributed DNA isnt great.. Many were Irish "political prisoners", plus the rolling waves of migration starting with the mid 1800s gold rushes and spanning the globe from Japanese pearl divers to Afghan camel drivers, Chinese laborers and cornish tin miners does have me looking more at the environmental factors. My own parents were part of a post WW2 diaspora from Britain.😷

Okay, well then that would actually be very good if the percentage of actual convicts who contributed DNA was very small. I had nothing at the time to factually backup my theory, but neither did my English Lit Teacher have evidence to prove my theory totally bogus, despite him looking like Adolf Hitler though being born and raised in Liverpool England before migrating to Canada for employment!
He had no other choice but to give me full marks because he couldn't disprove my theory and I ran with it, but my theory of genetically linked criminal activity within a family always made me wonder if I was actually correct or not! 🤣

@swirlie Considering it was an English Lit assignment, the actual proof of your theory is far less important than how you constructed your case..😷
