How can you hate something so pretty? And for city dwellers, the are a
great attractant for gold finches.

grow like buggery, spread like sod. A curse for farmers, cockies always moan
about the 'joker down the road who farms nodder thistles'. Seeds get stuck
in hay balers etc and move from farms to farm.

A good way to get even with people who have
crossed you is to spread nodder seeds across their garden.

How bout the people that brought them here? Maybe send a herd of
kangaroos to show appreciation?

Kangaroos are across the Tasman in Australia. Australians are also across
the Tasman (thank goodness. Sorry Len).
