Keys to this species in both PlantNET and Flora of the ACT (as Pultenaea cunninghamii). The leaves in whorls and the large bracteoles tight under the flowers suggested Pultenaea to me in the first place.

Betty, I have added a clearer image of the leaves showing size and shape and one of the rear of the flowers. I wonder if what you interpreted as a large bracteoles is actually a large subtending bract between the peduncle and pedicel? The leaves seem much longer and wrong shape to fit the PlantNET description of Pultenaea spinosa. Could you review your determination?

I was trialling my key to plants of SE NSW when I made the first determination. I had missed that Oxylobium ellipticum has sharp pointed leaves, which threw the whole thing out. On the other hand, you have made obvious a major fault in the description of Pultenaea spinosa in PlantNET. It is nothing like the description in the 2nd edition of volume 2 of Flora of NSW, which copies the description in the revision of Pultenaea in Australian Systematic Botany, and nothing has been published since to alter that.
