A green spider has caught a hoverfly. A second smaller spider is joining the party.
Hunting on Acacia blossoms.

This spider seems to be a crab spider in the genus Diaea sp. (Diaea evanida?)
The links seem to limit their range to warmer parts of Australia.
My poor images make it hard to determine it to species level.
