Default what sedge is this?

I think the plant in question is a sedge (Cyperaceae).

It grows in a Sydney garden as a weed.

Does anybody know which species?

It is a flatsedge, or Cyperus. The species I don't know. Cyperus
includes ornamentals such as Papyrus, noxious weeds such as Nutsedge
(in addition to being a tasty snack, it is a horrid weed) and plants
of intemediate usefulness.
