Now cut and poisoned. Reported to ACTBiosecurity but why should they have all the fun.

Thanks Mike , from my experience at controlling an infestation on Percevil Hill, this plant is probably a few years old and has already produced viable seed - so one to keep an eye out for in this area, seedlings are similar looking to adult plants.
