SE Qld? Probably not ornata then, maybe a slightly abberant diadema.

Furina diadema - red naped snake is native to se qld. pic is identical to specimen in my book.
Furina ornata - orange naped snake is NOT native to se qld.

I say red naped snake (Furina diadema).
Here is one i saved a while ago, I reckon it is a dead ringer for yours.

They are located from Pt Augusta in South Australia to Cairns in Qld they occupy a wide range of habitats and climates a full grown adult only reaches about 400-500mm in length. You probably have never seen one because they are so small. They are very easily missed.
