You have mites. Neem extracts dragoon job of controlling them. There are several chemical miticides available. I don’t know which ones are available in Australia. Make sure whatever you use says it works on mites. They are different from insects and need different chemicals to control them.

Thank you I have so many pests problems at the moment . No problems for 15 years until now .
I have movento systemic 2 way . For the armoured scale i have in other hedges . It treats spider mite also , is that the same as spider mite ? I have to mix Spirotetramat ( movento) application with adjuvant ( similar to neem oil ) in the spray mix .
I had a look on google it said tea scale by the picture I searched with on google. So worrying when the garden is full of pests .
I appreciate all of your help 😊
