I don't feel so bad about not knowing now, list was only officially updated this month.

Additional List of Weeds of National Significance – April 2012

An independent review in 2007 concluded that a nationally strategic approach had been highly successful, leveraging consistent multi-jurisdictional activity on high priority species. This initial review was followed up by a detailed review of all species by the Australian Weeds Committee (AWC) in 2009 and 2010. The AWC reviewed the extent to which all 20 national strategies had been implemented and looked broadly at the capacity for national coordination of additional WoNS species in future.

The Natural Resource Management Ministerial Council (Resolution 15.7, 21 May 2009) endorsed a three phased approach to national management of the WoNS species (see Figure 1, below). This aims to make the most cost-effective use of limited ‘national coordination’ resources available from public funds.
