5x expanded by Gronk Oz (talk). Self-nominated at 09:57, 23 January 2022 (UTC).[reply]

More than 5x expanded recently. Policy compliant, neutral and cited to reliable sources. QPQ has been done.
Hook: Interesting and stated in the article. I would suggest dropping the Professor (or changing it to lowercase and perhaps including "University of Adelaide professor"). See MOS:PHD and MOS:JOBTITLE.
Consider linking to Soldier settlement (Australia) and Budgerigar in the article.
