Australian Senator urges adoption of quolls. Want one?

Never heard of them before.

David Leyonhjelm has declared the quoll should replace the domestic cat in an effort to preserve native mammal populations.
In a speech to Parliament the Liberal Democratic Party senator argued making it legal to domesticate native animals like the quoll and bilby would ensure their survival.

"Certain kinds of wallabies make great pets. The quoll may replace domestic cats," he told the Senate.
