This is a Euphorbia, possibly E. oblongata. It needs to be removed as soon as possible because it spreads. There is a patch of thousands in the new part of Isaacs Ridge Nature Reserve at Mugga Lane, on the north side of Farrer Ridge and on Narrabundah Lane bordering Callum Brae.

I rode past tons of this stuff at the ANU this weekend as well. Is it a noxious weed Mike?

See sighting http://canberranaturemap.org/Community/Sightings/Details/1974248. Most likely the same plant, which I pulled up and removed.
