How did you find that?
Aussie genealogies are not easy to trace

I have the same question.
I usually don’t even try with Australian genealogies, but I would like to do it…
Short version: instagram and newspapers.com
Long version:
Found his mom’s instagram, and her father was tagged on one of the photos. His mom also named Paul Procter as her grandfather in another post. Her father Reginald named George Atkins as his father-in-law in his post. I found the obituaries of both men on newspapers.com and expanded using online family trees.
“Benjamin” may be an anglicization of some sort. There are also Lebanese people in Aus, who are not from Europe. I’ve checked his family IG profiles and they do not strike me as Aussies of British background.
