• I was expecting some mention of the Emu War for this one. SounderBruce 21:14, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• I did spend half-an-hour reading through Emu and Emu oil, wrote a short paragraph (without mentioning the war) only to have another contributor come along and delete half the paragraph without explanation.
