Sorry, should certainly be Phaneropterinae not Paneropterinae. Arethaea gracilipes is to my knowledge an US species and not found in Australia. It might be a Polichne sp., unfortunately there are many undescribed ones in Australia. You probably would need an expert to get down to species or at least genus level. https://www.flickr.com/photos/63479603@N00/12009035844 http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=178430 Some links for Arethaea gracilipes: http://www.opsu.edu/Academics/SciMathNurs/NaturalScience/PlantsInsectsOfGoodwell/orthoptera/katydid1.html http://bugguide.net/node/view/465024

Tettigoniidae, Katydid, might be a Paneropterinae.

It is an interesting looking insect. The pattern on the wings is intriguing to me.
