Leioproctus, I think, but not one I am familiar with. I can sent to Michael B - he may recognize it.

Not Leioproctus as I thought, Anna. Michael thinks it is Lasioglossum (Parasphecodes) musicum - https://www.padil.gov.au/pollinators/pest/138333
Not seen in this region before, and not on the species list. I will try to get it added.
