I don't usually have much good to say about Cold Ghost or their Jabba the Hutt looking owner, but considering how much "popular opinion" in Australia is anti-refugee, this is a brave move and I hope the players do well.

The original question was that Australians were anti refugees. I replied to that comment. However, I have met a few refugees from Europe, Asia and Africa.
