Thanks Greg, I just came up with a suggestion after browsing through the CNM images. I am not sure whether I should update the ID suggestion myself, or wait for a moderator.
The family Stratiomyidae is not available under family names. I suspect the fly is Exaireta spiniger, an Australian native fly that is often found associated with compost bins. I'm surprised the species has not been recorded previously in CNM.
