Is Pattersons Curse/Salvation Jane (Echium plantagineum) found in New Zealand as a weed?

I posted this question last night, but it appears to have been removed for no particular reason.

I know that Patterson's Curse is a weed in Australia- but is it here in New Zealand? This is a picture of the plant: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/50/Echium_plantagineum2.jpg

Thanks in advance for any information on this!

Yes it is here in New Zealand and no it is not classified as a weed (in the sense that there is any programme to eradicate/control it). The Echium Leaf Miner which was released in Australia in an attempt at biocontrol has had little effect. However, it has self introduced here and is becoming common, although its impact is, as yet, unknown.
