Abstract
Decisions on weed management have historically been frequently based on perceptions or emotions which is not necessarily a sound basis for determining long-term strategic priorities. -- In line with other jurisdictions in Australia, a risk-based, repeatable tool to help make decisions about individual species has been developed called the Northern Territory Weed Risk Management System (NTWRMS). The system is based on the National Post-Border WRM Protocol. -- pg. iv,
