Plot: Scotch Thistle and Cane Toad are sick of being classified as 'Weeds and Pests', so they ask wise old Platypus for advice. She advises them to travel to Canberra to ask Julia Gillard to reclassify them as 'desirable' species. However Julia's suggested solution (containing them in detention centres for processing as export products) does not appeal to them, so they head back home. Unfortunately, when they get there, a goat looking for the symposium on Weeds and Pests steps on Cane Toad and eats Thistle. But all ends well when they end up on a cloud in Heaven.
