using LUCID key to plants of SouthEast Australia takes me to Calandrinia pickeringii.
This isn't on CNM or in the Census but the fit is good. ALA shows one record for Canberra, and one from the Shoalhaven.

I agree with Calandrina but not sure about species; the local C eremaea seems to be more delicate?

The leaf description (shape, length, width) of this plant is consistent with C. pickeringii but not with the other two Calandrinia in the NSW Flora.

The source below suggests that "Identification to species level of Calandrinia usua ly requires microscopic examination of the seeds."

I'm afraid yes. I think we can agree on the genus; so perhaps Calandrina sp.
