Lift the ban of Capybara's in Australia

The issue

Currently no Australian may own a Capybara, the world's largest rodent native to South America. If not accepted into Australia they face being eaten by jaguars, anacondas, and caiman. Infant capybaras may also be eaten by foxes, vultures, and feral dogs. We aim to lift this ban on this fantastic animal and free it from the dangers in it's home country. We know they may not be the cutest animal but they are really loveable. All they want to do is eat, sleep and swim. Currently they are legal to own in the USA and the UK. Please help free the Capybara and let them become a nice household pet or even be allowed in the country!
