Looks a lot like oxalis to me

Looks like wood sorrel (oxalis) to me.
That said, I'm here from All, have no expertise in identifying plants, and am doubly unfamiliar with Australian flora, so take the above with a biiig grain of salt.

Sounds like Oxalis latifolia it is a common invasive species in australia.
(I am no expert so take my ID with a grain of salt)
This is based on the large leaves with a fishtail shape and the purple pink old flowers. also it seems it does not spread by seed rather it "reproduces by bulbs and bulbils produced from the underground stems." source
Yes thats it, the images in the linked Wikipedia page look exactly like the plants in my yard thanks 😸
