Previously identified as Asparagus officinalis Asparagus officinalis (Asparagus) but it is not that.
Possibly Asparagus virgatus.
Stiff perennial with small orange fruit and single round seed.

Photos added to show fruit and 'asparagus' spears. Plant spreading by long rhizomes.

I went looking for https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/18769961 Asparagus virgatus on Red Hill for comparison and found that it was Asparagus officinalis. This Mawson sighting looks quite different.
