Wrong area for me to confirm it, but it is A. decurrens. There is a big range in some characteristics so the stem flanges are not as marked in this one as in the other one you photographed not far away.
See https://worldwidewattle.com/speciesgallery/decurrens.php and the image gallery. Note particularly that the hand drawing showing the leaflets +/- widely spaced.

abread111 I can't confirm either; otherwise I would have. Perhaps we should restrict our CNM uploads for Ainslie / the "Common" area to the most important such as patches of untreated ST or CNG or stands of Asparagus so we find the latter again when they are ready for harvesting or killing ...

OK, I saw another patch of CNG which I will map.
I think there are 100s of decurrens under the power line.

https://canberra.naturemapr.org/users/22862, there are definitely lots of A mearnsii but also A decurrens on the power line easement. A decurrens is not on the Weeders to do list; I'm not sure whether they would recognize the species. I think it more widespread and under-recorded on CNM and it is not listed on Field Maps. Most of the CNM records of A decurrens on Mt Majura and Mt Ainslie are either from you or from me.
