Neem Oil: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neem_oil

I use a one gallon sprayer, fill with water, one tablespoon of neem oil, and one or two drops of dish soap.
Mix well by shaking the hell out of it.
The soap allows the neem oil to dilute in the water and also acts as a wetting agent and also allows the oil to remain on the leaves after the water has evaporated off.

Depending on the size and maturity of your bud; you may or may not be OK spraying them.
The more mature and bigger the bud the more the mixture will not evap off quickly and it can induce rot and/or mold.
One thing that might help you out is to use a fine mister, and then throw some serious air movement on them plants to evaporate as fast as possible.

What you do is your decision.

As far as purchasing it in Australia....dunno, I am in Colorado.

Go to your local nursery, or garden store. If you don't have that then go to a hardware store, they usually have plant stuff. If you go to a local nursery they may be able to help you combat these issues just tell them your growing vegetables and describe your problems and they may have organic solutions to your problems

If you spray it on the buds when they're deep into flowering, they will taste like shit. Spray during veg and the stretch in flower. Basically what neem does is put a protective layer on the plant and when the pest bites the leave the neem kills them (eventually).
