Pest/bug in hedge plants

Can anybody identify a thing which has taken up residence in my
recently plannted hedge of Acmena Smithii minor (I think that is right
its a Lily Pily)
Near the junction of a stem is a a white fluffy cobweb type of thing.
Not really like a cobweb but not like fungus either.
On close inspection it seems to contain a lot of small white dots
slightly less than a mm long so I could be the eggs of something.
Any ideas? and what can I do to get rid of it permanently (or don't I
need to?)
Regards

Sounds like mealy bug. Google for some pictures and see if that is it.
