Do you know the plant that it is possibly feeding on

Sorry, my botany is extremely scratchy and beyond it looking a bit like a succulent I have no idea. This is the only photo of the beetle that I have - the uncropped photo shows a little more of the leaf but nothing of the rest of the plant and I didn't take any other photos in the immediate vicinity.

Possibly Semelvillea waraganji rather than Aporocera, however I have never seen this species and am not familiar with its appearance.

The leaf that it is standing on appears to be that of Coprosma hirtella check the sightings for that species.
