Black Swan Farming (Paul Graham)

http://www.paulgraham.com/swan.html

Literal black swans are common in parts of Australia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_swan
There are no native white swans in Australia. They are all black.
Let's not bring identity politics in to this discussion.
They mean that they have in the past dealt with animal-specific issues, rather than a generic approach. I take it mean that they will have to write some roo-specific rules as they once did for black swans.
