Phalaris is a major 'improved pasture' grass from at least the 1960s, and you often see it beside roads etc as well as in pastures (maybe less so in the ACT because of the lack of 'improved pastures' because of leasehold situation). Should be little concern if phalaris is taken out where it's unsuitable there is enough of it around (it's a tall and usually dominant perennial) (I am happy to stand corrected - just knowing it from my family's properties in the central west & New England since the 1960s)
cheers
Barbara
