In the NT, relations between the CLP govt and First Nations communities are falling apart and they weren’t strong in the first place. The govt has ceased listening to experts & evidenced based advice. It’s an administration that is off the leash and only the federal govt can do something about it.

This is a mind blowing public policy failure. This economic impact assessment found the cost of buffel grass’ spread is 60 times its benefits. Yet the NT Minister preempted his own report, locking in its planting and spread based on a minority cattle lobby recommendation. nt.gov.au/__data/asset...

This is important wherever you live given the scale and lack of rules for datacentres proposed in the NT. And that the NT is undermining efforts in other states to stop them using fossil fuels.

Should this plant be declared one of the worst weeds in Australia?

Without a national policy, the spread of smothering buffel grass will continue unchecked.
