It would help to have a face on photo of a flower.
If it is Solanum, it is probably Solanum pseudocapsicum if the calyx, which cups the flower, is 4-5 mm long. If the calyx is shorter than that, you need ripe fruit for an ID.

Agree: most likely S. pseudocapsicum; http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Solanum~pseudocapsicum
A bit similar looking and also recorded to occur in ACT is S. chenopodioides but it has slightly different leave shape; see http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Solanum~chenopodioides.
the former (pseudocapsicum) is a perennial shrub, the latter is a annual herb therefore I suggest it is pseudocapsicum.
It is not a local species so if you come across please pull; birds spread the plant eating the fruits. The 3rd photo shows small seedling bottom right of the mature plant.

hi all
I arrived at S. pseudocapsicum.
We removed a number of plants not far away during woody weed control sessions many years ago.
