fuckin oath Aroha, absolute legend. those moth plants are a bloody scourge, great to see someone actually doing something about it rather than just whinging on facebook

Hana Stewart2026-06-21T02:01:23.000Z

too right, councils are useless. all talk no action. this woman's doing their job for free

Mia Carter2026-06-21T01:17:23.000Z

good on her eh, takes some real grit to go out and tackle that many plants. councils should be paying people like her instead of wasting money on consultants

Casey Adams2026-06-21T01:46:23.000Z

mate she's done more than the whole regional council combined. give her the funding instead

Chloe Martin2026-06-21T01:34:23.000Z

astounding effort but honestly it's just a drop in the bucket. those things spread like crazy, one person can't fix it without proper council support

lol cope, at least she's out there while you're typing

Sophie Ngata2026-06-21T01:46:23.000Z

what a load of shit, councils fund all sorts of useless stuff but can't help with this? typical

Zoe King2026-06-21T01:59:23.000Z

yeah nah she's fighting a losing battle but at least she's doing something. more than most of us can say while we sit on our phones lol

Ruby Fraser2026-06-21T02:12:23.000Z

someone get this woman a grant or a medal. actually both. way more deserving than some of the clowns getting funded

Reagan Shaw2026-06-21T02:36:23.000Z

proper legend, hope this inspires more people to get stuck in. community action is the only way we're gonna sort out the weed problem

Chloe Martin2026-06-21T02:54:23.000Z

fair call, still think councils need to step up. but respect to her for sure

Peyton Hall2026-06-21T02:45:23.000Z

Zoe King2026-06-21T03:11:23.000Z
