Upbeat Pete, if you believe that (and the scary thing is I think you might) then we're all in trouble.

We are displaying the greed of other countries who's need for more has caused naught but trouble in their own environments.
With our conservation laws and with the amazing number of species of reptile we already have at our own backdoor, we are pushing the envelope.
We definitely do not need any overseas imports, they always somehow become a pest (ie: Red Eared Slider communities, cane toads, foxes, rabbits etc.)
I can be moved on most things and am happy to be corrected about facts.
But this is an opinion that is long seated and I hope we do not go the way of commercialising our reptile trade to a point that we equate the introduction of more reptiles with more dollars, and where we forget our own native reptile resources and belittle their place in our habitat.
