This paper includes Spinifexbird in a genetic aalysis with other Locustellidae:
Alström, P., Fregin, S., Norman, J.A., Ericson, P.G.P., Christidis, L. &
Olsson, U. 2011. Multilocus analysis of a taxonomically densely sampled dataset
reveal extensive non-monophyly in the avian family Locustellidae. Molecular
Phylogenetics and Evolution 58: 513–526. DOI:10.1016/j.ympev.2010.12.012
AbstractThe
phylogeny of most of the species in the avian passerine family
Locustellidae is inferred using a Bayesian species tree approach
(Bayesian Estimation of Species Trees, BEST), as well as a traditional
Bayesian gene tree method (MrBayes), based on a dataset comprising one
mitochondrial and four nuclear loci. The trees inferred by the different
methods agree fairly well in topology, although in a few cases there
are marked differences. Some of these discrepancies might be due to
convergence problems for BEST (despite up to 1 × 109
iterations). The phylogeny strongly disagrees with the current taxonomy
at the generic level, and we propose a revised classification that
recognizes four instead of seven genera. These results emphasize the
well known but still often neglected problem of basing classifications
on non-cladistic evaluations of morphological characters. An analysis of
an extended mitochondrial dataset with multiple individuals from most
species, including many subspecies, suggest that several taxa presently
treated as subspecies or as monotypic species as well as a few taxa
recognized as separate species are in need of further taxonomic work.

Hi Stephen,
All I can find is "TAX : Spinifexbird is a member of Megalurus [Locustellidae,
previously Megaluridae] (Christidis & Boles 2008; Alström et al 2011a)" on the
IOC website http://www.worldbirdnames.org/n-warblers%20ow.html
