Their "non-indigenuos fish" list reads like a list of our feeders
They want to see problems, come on to Florida, southern canals are like an outdoor LFS.

"It has been illegal to possess koi in Maine for more than 25 years. Maine law states that a person may not introduce, import or transport fish into the state without a permit, nor may someone have in their possession fish that were imported or transported without a permit. Possession is a Class E crime with fines ranging from $1,000 to $10,000."

You obviously don't live in Queensland. They are illegal in QLD but I think you can still have them in NSW.
Not just koi - looks like the Ozzies want to ban almost all aquarium fish:
