## Resource

Record rainfall has supercharged the spread of buffel grass across South and Central Australia, turning this once-intended pasture aid into an ecological wildfire. Now classified as a “cancer” of the bush, it’s choking native flora, fueling dangerous fires, and threatening Aboriginal cultural sites and food sources. While some farmers see it as a lifeline for cattle in drought-stricken regions, environmentalists demand urgent, better-funded action. The SA government has pledged to keep funding a buffel grass coordinator — but advocates say it’s woefully under-resourced. With the weed creeping toward Adelaide and culturally vital areas like the Flinders Ranges, there’s a growing call to officially label it a national weed to trigger coordinated, cross-border control.
