Hedgehog crosses the Tasman
Where's the Tasman, and why am I apparently crossing it?

Where's the Tasman
New Zealand.
There's a Tasman Sea, Tasman Bay, Tasman District, and the Abel Tasman National Park. All apparently named after the first European to reach New Zealand. And some other places including Tasmania.
I'd hazard a guess that the sea is meant, from the usage. Could be the bay I suppose.

So... the mother sends a kid to a kindergarten which has a healthy food policy for whatever reason, stuffs cake in her lunchbox, and now is outraged that the rules are being followed?
I don't get it.

@RaceProUK The hedgehog they mentioned is the cake
I couldn't figure what they mean with it crossing Tasmania though

It’s the nastygram that has gone viral.
It is also not news. Maybe on a local level, but it is a story from New Zealand being reported by a US news site about a boilerplate note being sent home about a kindergartner's lunch. It was not a "nastygram". It was a photocopied boilerplate note. If the teacher had written a personalized note calling the parent a cunt for sending their kid to school with cake, that would be a nastygram.

@Polygeekery Are New Zealanders like, the Canadians of Oceania?

@Yamikuronue they are basically Australians. They are like people from here:
That area is basically Florida, and should be treated as such.

No, a Canadian would have sent the child with a Maple cake

I think they still call each other cunts

And now that they've run to the press with it, I wouldn't even call such note unwarranted.

@boomzilla
They are also hard core about confusing pronouns in their news articles.
