Come now, these "pests" were/are invited by NZers to NZ !

have you met my auntie?

Can you give me a link to a pic of this particular pest, please? :-)
It's obviously quite hardy, and perennial.

its actually an annual, she comes to visit once a year.

Auckland is one hell of a lot warmer, isn't it, and there are many
plants and trees that grow up in Auckland and beyond which simply
won't
have it down in the London-like climate of Christchurch.

sub tropical plants, with a strong pacific flavour in late spring to a
sub-artic city, with nowt pacific about it and late summer (I think).
QUITE
a big change.

"with nowt pacific about it", you say. Hmmm. Now, few real Kiwis ever
use the word "nowt". Are you SURE you're not really a "POM" yourself,
Rob? :-)

Lets put it another way. Christchurch will bludge off the hard yakka done by
the Jafas. They have done bugger all to build the event up, and left the
Auckland event to cark it. Fair go? Get of the grass.

The jafas have to watch their event go bush down the boohai with some sheep
cockies. No wonder the jafas packed a sad. An event that was grouse and used
to be chocka with pacific influence will now have bugger all. Its a crook
deal, enough to make a joker want to chunder. The cockies will have shit
show of running a similar event.

That said, the jafa council said they were strapped for cash and turned into
a bunch of pikers. They had three fifths of five eights of **** all one
minute, and then enough money for a flower hooley the next. And not wanting
to send it to the south Auckland wops, the townies have the show in the
original venue. I reckon something is puckeroo here. Got it sussed they
reckon eh? Wouldn't know shit from clay? You are not wrong.
