And why do Kiwis come to Australia? Because your dollar is less even despite the US now managing your banks for you. And you are also losing a war to possums. Thats right our American friends,
a few of our least offensive creatures, all of 5lbs pound of fur, escapes to NZ and its brought the Kiwi environment to its knees.:D
Yes our dollar is slightly less than the Oz buck. As regards the brush tailed possum, they've been a problem for close on a 100 years now. Originally introduced for the fur trade they got of control rapidly and at one
stage their population was estimated between 70-120 million. It wasn't realized until the 80's when infrared cameras were introduced that the mongels were eating native birds eggs by the ton every night apart from doing their usual damage to forests.
However, the only people really concerned about possums are the Dept. of Conservation and of of course all the greenie, socilaist, beared, horn rimmed, sandel wearing losers. When I was a youngster, good pocket could be made shooting them at night (because they're nocturnal) and skinning and drying the pelts. Now the possum fur is just plucked and and sold by weight. It's a pity that the PM Ardern and her socialist mob don't set the unemployed, who don't want to work, out trapping the little furry sods. But of course that might offend some of them and it's so much easier to get the fortnightly unemployment benefit, buy some meth and spend the time doing whatever meth heads do.
