SHOCKING SIGHT: The spider prevented a terrified couple from leaving their home. WOUNDED: They managed to sever two of its legs but it scuttled away afterwards.

Nuke it from orbit.
Actually, I think this is common for Australia. I have no idea why it would be news.
In America it’s news when people burn down their house trying to kill a spider one tenth that size.

That’s no spider, it’s an alien face-hugger.

Can you imagine waking up and finding that thing in bed with you? I mean I’m a big guy and I don’t intimidate easily, but every one of my neighbors would b e waking up at the same time thinking “Why is a 9 year old girl screaming like that at Abathar’s house?”

Oh for heaven’s sake. Scared over a spider! OK, a larger than normal spider. Call us when it gets big enough to eat a city. Then we will dispatch Clint Eastwood to bomb it with napalm! (subtle reference to the movie TARANTULA)

I’ve heard some say The Huntsman spider is not aggressive, and will go away on it’s own if not bothered.
Yeah, right. How long are you supposed to wait till it decides to leave?
It would take me a long, long time to become anywhere near accustomed to seeing those creatures skittering about loose in my presence. I never even got used to the Palmetto Bugs
(aka Giant Roaches) I used to see in Charleston, South Carolina. They loved walking upside down on indoor ceilings.
Only problem is the Palmettos were so heavy, they would sometimes lose their footing and fall down. Oops!
Don’t look now, but one of those bugs just fell down the back of your shirt collar.

That’s technically referred to as OBAS - One Big-Ass Spider...!

I have seen some pretty big wolf spiders on the trail. Molting or mating. BTW, they get grouchy when you point your walking stick at them.
I couldn’t believe the size so I touched it with my with walking stick — it turned and made a run for my feet.

A .22 with snake shot would take care of that. But since they’ve been disarmed in Australia, enjoy the wildlife.
