Dark propodeum with longitudinal yellow stripes, the yellow bands on the gaster & the less-distinct spots on the wings are all good indicators that this is Polistes humilis ssp. synoecus (often confused with Polistes stigma).

Looking at the photos of Idaea inquieta (ie. 'Idea sp. (1)') on the supporting disc to Moths of Victoria. I think the dark lines on the forewing on the basal half of the forewing meet the costa at a distinctly different angle than we see in this specimen. Also, while the sexes are apparently different in this respect, I do not see here the pale colour on the head between the antennae of the male of I. inquieta.

the intensity of bands & amount of shading is variable between individuals. This can be seen in the iNat species 80 of which were IDed by Axel Kallies.

This lacks the dark shading along the forewing median band which I. inquinata has.
