Extreme weed control

The ACT Government is also in breach of their own advice on fireweed. http://www.tams.act.gov.au/parks-recreation/plants_and_animals/invasive_species/managing_invasive_weeds/information_on_invasive_plants/madagascan_fireweed_alert

The hills are alive (Canberra parks, verges, along the main roads) with millions of plants.

The ACT gov’s lack of control of St Johns Wort is disgraceful. The stuff is everywhere. Maybe they should look over the border and see how the NSW councils do it.

Maybe they shouldn’t. I know of several areas where it’s at least as bad as the Canberra offerings.

It’s a deliberate policy, all that St John’s Wort about the city stops us becoming depressed.

Meh, ten minutes and an M2 would have those pears done in no time.

Oh good. And doubtless as they drove to and from Molonglo Gorge, they admired the lush growths of St Johns Wort and Serrated Tussock in the paddocks both sides of Pialligo Avenue. And as you go into Molonglo Gorge.

ACT Government’s weed management is so bad, it’s farcical. I wonder if they’ve got to the Caltrop in Telopea Park yet? That stuff punctures tyres and goes through shoe-soles.
