I was about to cheer .. and I'll still cheer even though looking at that link I wonder whether animal rights activists will like his kangaroo skin coat elegantly worn over his suit.

Are kangaroo skin coats big in Oz land?

You'll cut yourself on that scalpel sharp tongue of yours one of these days.

I meant the kangaroos who had had their coats nicked.
I see, from a bit of research, that it's about 3 million a year

In some parts of Australia, Kangaroos are considered 'pests'.

Kangaroo meat is very tasty and also very healthy as there is little or no 'fat'.
