Green thumbs are being asked to watch out for a beautiful but toxic flower that could be growing in their backyards.

What you need to know:
- Every part of the plant is poisonous, and can cause gastroenteritis, thirst, paralysis, blindness, and heart and kidney failure.
- This plant is hardy and normal pest control efforts are often not enough to eradicate.
- The cape tulip, growing up to 90cm high with one strap-like leaf, was introduced to Aotearoa in the 1940s, the Ministry for Primary Industries’ manager for pest management John Sanson said. “Cape tulips, like many of these invasive weeds, are really attractive ornamental species ...but they escape over people’s backyard fences and into pasture, as these things often do,”
- It was classified as a noxious plant in the late 1970s after they were discovered to cause harm to livestock and humans, even killing animals when too much as ingested.
- The salmon-pink flowers bloom for about two days a year between June and December, and have previously been an ornamental species for keen gardeners.

Sanson urged people who believed they had the weed growing on their property to leave it untouched and contact Biosecurity New New Zealand’s Exotic Pest and Disease on 0800 80 99 66.

Once a site was confirmed, manual removal or chemical treatment would start.

Insurance premium increase inconsistency

Chris from Mairehau

Hi all, I recently got my annual contents insurance renewal, and let out a few words that cannot be repeated here when I read my premium had increased 23% for the next year, now 40% in 3 years.

So I looked at what I own, and calculated I could drop the insured value by 30% - I rang the insurer and asked them to recalculate based on the new number, and they advised that they could reduce the premium by only 9%. I do not accept that a 30+% reduction in insured value, equating to only a 9% reduction in premium, is arrived at using their standard calculation tables - I believe they are applying non linear "adjustments" (lets call them "spite adjustments"), to spite us for wanting to reduce upward spiraling premium increases, AKA to keep sucking us dry. I'd like to hear the stories of others who have tried as I have to reduce their premiums but have been offered what is frankly an insultingly measly reduction in premium for such a significant decrease in insured value - EDIT - the insurer made over A$100M in profit in the prior fiscal year, I'm with AA
