Thank you Danilo Lüdke (lehelind) for identifying and Tony and Jenny Dominelli (Cinclosoma) for confirming the id of this species for us

General Species Information:
Found in the Flinders Ranges and possibly elsewhere
~6mm long.
These are very rare and are usually found on Emubushes (Eremophila sp). This came to the kitchen window light.
We confused this for the introduced Southern Green Stink Bug (Nezara viridula).
Danilo said id can be made "based on the very short 3rd antennal segment, even less than half the length of the 2nd".

This species is

Australian Native Species, not listed in the SA Murray Mallee Survey of 2010.
