Foil shamrocks - a threat to New Zealand biosecurity
In the post today we received a lovely St.Patrick's Day greeting card from my parents, decorated with some small foil shamrocks. For reasons best known to MAF, it was flagged as a potential thread to the nation, and treated as a biohazard. How bizarre. I wonder what damage they thought was going to be caused by fake plant life?

It must have caused quite a commotion at customs..."We've got a live one!!!! Bring the kettle!!!"
I'm sure they had all their top people working on it. :-D
Mad. It's a good job they didn't post live foxes and rabid badgers.
That is so awesome. Doesn't bode well for me bringing Fireblade into the country though!
Fireblade - great name! :D
