You need to see flowers or fruit to determine whether this is Rubus anglocandicans (flowers on short side shoots on first year canes) or Rubus fruticosus aggregate (flowers at the end of second year canes). I think that is what the PlantNET key says.

The 'Blackberry Control Manual' available at www.weeds.org.au/WoNS/blackberry includes R. anglocandicans in the 16 species in Rubus fruticosus agg. (European blackberry). I think R. anglocandicans and R. leucostachys are the commonest in the ACT.
