I think that this plant (here are some images: https://imgur.com/a/16wlZ3n) is a type of asparagus fern but I would like some to please confirm its species.
Kind regards,
David

Looks like asparagus fern to me. Probably Asparagus aethiopicus. Most asparagus are considered weeds in many areas of Australia, including this one.

I don't know if I should dispose of it or just carefully grow it. I might use it as a little experiment and see how it grows without spreading it to anywhere else. Thanks for the confirmation and reply!

Re: Please ID this plant species
Weediness is only an issue when these plants set seed. If you get berries forming after flowers just remove them or cut the whole spike and bin it or burn it. The plant will just grow another shoot.
Most of us set out with good intentions but after a year or 2 we forget or can't be bothered and the plant will ripen some berries which the birds then eat and spread to local bushland.
There are many more attractive plants to grow.
