Lots of Solanum species tend to pop up after fire or other disturbance. This one gets to be about 2-3 metres high, but is likely to only persist for a year or two. There are weedy ones as well as natives, but they are more likely to have white flowers (not purple), and no prickles on the leaves (though there is a native one, Solanum opacum that also answers this description, so its confusing).
