Aussie restaurants named best in the world
Restaurateur power couple Josh and Julie Niland's innovative venue Saint Peter at The Grand National Hotel in Sydney has made the list.
The 'nose-to-tail' seafood restaurant moved into the Paddington venue in mid-2024, an upgrade from its previously much smaller location on Oxford St.

Although in a new location, Saint Peter has the same ethos of making great food with less waste, with menu items such as Coral Trout bone noodles, and bone marrow fudge.

Opened by seasoned hospitality pro Andrew McConnell, who is also behind beloved institutions such as the Marion, Apollo Inn and the Gimlet, the riverside venue has an undeniable Asian influence that brings a kick of flavour to every dish.

Lancelin locals trigger alarm on coastal erosion as coastline washes away and wild weather predicted
A popular Aussie fishing and tourist town has pleaded for help as an aggressive ocean washes away their tiny coastal home before their eyes. The erosion crisis in Lancelin, 125km north of Perth, has worsened since 7NEWS visited just over two months ago and cast a major cloud over the future of the getaway known for its white sand and relaxed seaside lifestyle. Locals say more than 10m of land has vanished since May and they seriously fear for their homes and businesses. Anxiously watching the shoreline inch towards his pub, Lancelin Sands Hotel owner of three years Glen Trebilcock has pleaded for emergency funding and specialist technical assistance from the state government in a petition supported by 800 signatures. 'Without immediate intervention, the safety of the foreshore and the integrity of essential coastal infrastructure remain at serious risk,' he said. 'We strongly believe that a retreat is not a viable solution.' The local shire has also written to WA Deputy Premier Rita Saffioti for help but says they are yet to hear back. 'We're not asking for millions of dollars at the moment, we're just asking for a little bit of financial assistance,' Gingin Shire President Linda Balcombe told 7NEWS. 'We're a very small shire with only about 6000 ratepayers and we've got a big coastline that we have to protect. 'If we're protecting private businesses and private houses we also need to come up with a model that everybody's putting something into this — shire, landowners and the state, and even federal government. It's an Australia-wide problem.' Balcombe said more than 25 metres of coastline had been eaten up in some of the worst-hit places in the last year. 'Of course (the locals) are nervous. They live here, there's a lot of value in their properties (and) angst if they're going to get inundated,' Balcombe told 7NEWS. 'I don't blame them.' Thousands of tourists are drawn to Lancelin's white sand and picturesque water every year, but Trebilcock said the erosion issue that threatens to swallow up their slice of paradise is having an impact on visitor numbers. 'Six tour companies that used to come through every day, they've all disappeared. They bypass and they just go directly up to Jurien (Bay),' he told 7NEWS. A lookout that has sat by his hotel for decades and is a sought-after stop with international selfie-hunters will be torn down next week due to safety concerns. Former WA opposition leader Shane Love said he had raised a grievance in parliament and followed up again in budget estimates. 'I've said this a number of times in parliament already, the state government need emergency funds and the ability to respond urgently,' he said. The WA Government told 7NEWS it is 'aware of the issues and is actively looking at options to assist'. A weekend cold front set to smash the coast and threatens to eat further into the remaining waterfront. 'The seas will really pick up. We're expecting quite high swells ... well up over five metres behind the system as well,' Bureau of Meteorology WA manager James Ashley said. Some experts fear there is little that can be done at this point. 'In the case of Lancelin, it's built in the wrong place. It's built in an eroding coastline,' UWA coastal oceanography professor Charitha Pattiaratchi told 7NEWS in May. 'It's probably controversial — [but the best thing to do would be] retreat, do nothing.'

Forget card surcharges, these three invisible fees are costing us more
But with online overseas shopping now so popular, they are a larger deal than ever. They also remain curiously large. While the average foreign transaction fee is 3 per cent, it can go as high as 5 per cent. And besides this card-issuer fee, payment networks like Visa, Mastercard, and American Express may also charge their own international transaction fees, which can be up to another 1 per cent. Card surcharges are rarely levied on online purchases, because of the no-cash-no-card-charge rule, but per $100 purchase, you can still easily forgo $4 for, well, nothing. Various cards now offer foreign-exchange-fee-free transactions. And a new alternative is to maintain a travel money card at all times for overseas purchases. These are purpose-designed debit cards with favourable exchange rates for money pre-loaded onto them in other currencies. The cost of that exchange is usually not explicit. Instead, it's built into the conversion rate you get. (Such cards also usually spruik no- or low-cost ATM withdrawals overseas.) The problem I've found with travel cards, especially when you travel, is if you incorrectly estimate what you'll spend, currency stuck on such a card becomes a conundrum. Do you wait until you next visit that country? Travel card companies pick up a pretty penny if you leave money languishing, in interest. Loading But you'll wear a double conversion cost if you instead switch the money again into another currency, maybe Australian dollars. Which brings me to the enormous amount you might not realise you are paying from your superannuation and investments. 3. Investing, whether in or out of super. Hidden trailing commissions on your investments, which came straight out of your fund balance, were banned many years ago now. These were rivers of perennially flowing gold for financial advisers. But guess what? Asset-based fees were not banned. And if there was an adviser in the mix of any investments, these may lop off the top of your money, too. However, there is another layer of charging we all pay: fund management fees. These vary significantly depending on the level of management of your investments – or superannuation fund. An average amount would be 1.5 per cent – or $1500 on a $100,000 balance. Which might be fine … but check, when your super performance for last financial year is released (any day), whether your returns made your fees worth it. If you're paying more for 'highly active' management, are you getting higher returns? Now, also coming out of your super fund will be insurance premiums, but I generally support these – they're cheap, and the insurance is a great safety net. You'll have a default level of life and total and permanent disability insurance. You may also be able to get limited income protection insurance on request. Hidden fees are a fact of life in our financial system – and you can bet they're about to be re-hidden when it comes to card purchases. Just never obliviously hand over more than you need.
