We're the only ones who could beat the Aussies but then again we'd never invade them either.

From what little I know about the books the invaders are never clearly identified, however they presumably come from somewhere north of Australia. Who could the author mean?

We don't have shrimps over here but I'll stick a prawn in the pot for you so it's hot when you arrive.



You have to be careful and not let them grow too big or they try to mate with buildings:

I looked at a list of the cast and it seems the invaders are portrayed by actors with asian sounding surnames...

One is British

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1248393/

I can see a limited release in the US, as it did come part of school reading lists, might make it to the UK.

They should avoid NZ, it might give them ideas.......
