This is a Weed of National Significance. The main area of concern in NSW is on the Western Slopes.

Athel pine, Tamarix aphylla is the Weed of National Significance and is in the ACT Pest plants list. Other tamarisks T. ramosissima and T. parviflora are also pests. We should not have Athel pine as a common name for T. ramosissima.

You are right. I was confused by the fact that both Plantnet and Vicflora have descriptions of only Tamarix ramosissima and APNI cites Tamarix aphylla as a synonym in the 2005 CHAH tick of the name, then in 2007 gives the name Tamarix aphylla a tick as a separate species. With this extra information, I think the two recent sightings should be Tamarix sp. https://keyserver.lucidcentral.org/weeds/data/media/Html/tamarix_aphylla.htm
