Yeah, seems _Lomandra filiformis_ subsp. _filiformis_;
but from attempting to work together, this sighting including your focussed and good photographs (or any photographs per se) and the Flora of NSW online PlantNet key to the subspecies;
hard to confirm subspecies (as regularly occurs in systematic efforts to identify subspecies of _Lomandra filiformis_ from photographs per se) .

Oh thanks for the measurement additional photograph .
Yeah about 1.5 mm wide as is (more or less inrolled) and if flattened i estimate 2–3 mm wide.
I'll have more of a go of botanically keying out to the subspecies of _Lomandra filiformis_ .

Hello @JasonPStewartMsnc2016 Hope you are well.
The leaves are approximately 1.5 mm (new image attached).
All the best.

Martin . Good day !
Looks like _Lomandra filiformis_ in my first looks.
Botanically keying this out now in the Flora of NSW online PlantNet spp. key and the subspecies key – as the best way of re-checking my knowledge.
Please estimate how wide these leaves are in mm ?
eg. 0.5 to 1 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm or 4 mm or more .
An estimate from your memory will do (– no need to re-visit this plant for measuring sample leaves) .

All good !
I gather the re-naming eventually went through, good news.
I have noticed sometimes when many sightings' uploads happen all at once, we have to wait to get our sightings' uploads through. Presumably sometimes the same happens with re-namings.
Yesterday arvo i waited for a few hours, comfortably doing other tasks, to upload two _Fagraea_ trees' species sightings of my own.
The busy coming spring season in southern parts of this continent !
Towards peaking flowering season and starting to get hot days 30º C+ again here in the north of this continent !
The old good saying we all know: Patience is a virtue !
