Dindymus versicolor
Second instar I think. About 9mm long and sporting the colours of our indigenous peoples flag these are a very pretty bug.
On a kangaroo apple bush in a local nature reserve. Wally Tew Reserve.
These are a type of 'cotton stainer' bug but endemic to south-eastern Australia. They are a bane of gardeners in this country but I like them.

I like the paddles on the antennae. Great colours too!
