Wallaby infestation in the South island New Zealand

[lionrose.7]

Many years ago some one bought in 3 pairs of Wallabies in to the South island, now on the one Property they are killing 2000 a year.

3 Wallabies eat as much as 1 sheep.

We also have Wallabies on a few North Island, Islands.

Aussies. can you please come and take your Wallabies back and also your Possums 🙂

Wallabies are a fair trade for trying to off-load chinese vegies as your own

Check the country of origin of Australian brands (e.g. Birdseye, the ones that had the dodgy berries etc ) for imported vege/fruit from China.

So if you stopped importing frozen vege fruit from NZ (not possible CER) would that stop all Chinese produce vege/fruit entering Aust?

I just have to do a 'joanie' here,  am

I don't understand?

The Australian laws say they have to state country of origin. 

NZ don't have these laws?

I will have to check that out.

I read all the labels and all of them have the origin over here.

I hate the ones thats say New Zealand and imported ingredients, but you get that in Aus as well

My point was, yes, some frozen vege that come into Aust through NZ could be from China. But no one mentions the Australian brands that are importing frozen vege/fruit direct from China into Australia. As if the NZ are the baddies, when Aust brands are doing the exact same thing (probably in bigger quantities.

NZ & Aust share the same food standards board.
