The leaves of Persoonia rigida are hairy (cf those in the photo lacking hairs) and the fruit is a different shape.

Definitely Coprosma hirtella, plant is female. I haven't noticed flowers and fruit at the same time before. Some of the leaves appear to possibly show evidence of infection by a rust pathogen.
