An outbreak of one of the world's worst invasive weeds, has been detected in Queensland for the first time in 25 years. Members of the public are urged to take precautions to arrest its spread and to report any sightings to authorities.
UPDATE: It is often mistaken for an Aussie native, but although it bears a superficial resemblance to a noxious weed previously eradicated from Queensland, Bjelke Petersonious Pumpkinsconia, it is in fact an American Orange Trumpet Vine, from which a dye widely used in fake tans and hair dyes is extracted.

When #Greenland refuses #Trump he goes into a rage, raises tariffs on Europe and threatens war on NATO. Russia is delighted. Greenland should politely invite him to a banquet of their national dish, #kiviak, which he strongly resembles. For extra punch, made with eider en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiviak
Seabirds fermented for months in a seals skin, a Greenland delicacy.
