Do you have any evidence to suggest this is Little Raven rather than Australian?

Not really, the report I put into eBird when I made this sighting had Australian, but I was told to change, I think they said the large numbers and size weren’t consistent or something like that, may have even been another photo, but definitely same birds as the ones I reported, I wouldn’t be able to ID them on my own

It's probably inconsequential what we do with this sighting. Both Little and Aus Ravens are present there. This could even be a mixed flock. I personally wouldn't consider the reported flock size (10 on ebird) to be a conclusive indicator for either species. I personally rely on calls for ID. We may need to mark this one inconclusive due to lack of certainty.
