I have this damned stuff too.Doesnt matter how you get rid of it because it still comes back.
So far have used weed killer,digging etc.Every bit that drops makes another plant.
Have got a weed burner and intend "Cooking it in its skin" :D

My son suggests Napalm might do it :D :joke: :king:

I've never seen this weed before, although apparently I have 3 other 'weeds' growing in my garden according to their list!
I went through A-Z and I can't find the answer??

Hi - Each month I spend days looking for the silly thing.... but this month I actually worked it out.... YAY.... found it on search weeds Australia.... but am not sure how... was randomly clicking tabs etc... and a picture of it popped up. Anyhow hope that is helpful for you ...don't want to give it away for all of the others who spents days looking. But it is definately somewhere on that site... As for the Nz site... couldn't find it there even after I knew what it was.

OOo did find it now on that top link that was given to us too.

I have looked and looked and looked....and looked. I give up! That other link was no help to me. I think I may have spent 1hr in total trying to find this weed - I will go to bed and probably dream of it no doubt lol. Good luck to all you clever folk who work it out :D :D
