@Tapirlord where would I find guidance on removing various weeds, eg ones to be pulled vs poisoned vs something else?

from my experience this species is hard to pull, only when very small (2 or 3 leaves) and the soil is friable; best to cut and paint/spray the cut surface.

Pulling them out is possible when small, https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4448885. Seedlings have horizontal roots, https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4228401, and can sucker. It looks as though this one already has a sucker. Dig it out or cut and paint with glyphosate.
