Is that what is wrong with Georgia? By the way, did you know that before Australia became the UK’s penal colony, it was into America where they sent the prisoners? The UK only started sending prisoners to Australia because of the American Revolution. Once they could not send prisoners to America, they started to send them to Australia in 1788. So we have a lot in common and Australians can also thank the Americans for establishing Australia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convicts_in_Australia
The Colonies did get some prisoners but many more were indentured servants and those that came of their own free will.

The US and Australia have much in common and what is occurring there is making us a bit nervous
