In all seriousness if you do know of a link to instructions for the manufacture of a suitable trap please do share (I'm assuming jam jar and something sugary but want to check). Our yard is within the likely area of spread, and would make an Ideal home for Hornets (No lawn, lots of bush).

I've read a fair bit of the discourse on this and FWIW I don't think Hipkins has done nothing to regain the trust of certain sectors of the community. Committing to policy that would regain that trust would deny articles like this credibility; the article confirms certainly what I believe about him.

Apologies if I mislead anyone to that effect. <autistic><confused> Am I being too literal? Pohutukawa while indigenous to Aotearoa are a relative to Myrtle but are not found in Australia.

Reasoning, Insight and detail it was all there better than I could do. I'm just glad I was there to see it.
