Run, don't walk: This $399 Philips air fryer is now just $198 in a rare Amazon Australia deal
The Philips Dual Basket Air Fryer, which usually retails for $399, is now available on Amazon Australia for just $198, a massive 50 per cent off.
This isn't just any air fryer. It's sleek, modern and seriously clever. Designed with RapidAir Plus technology, it delivers crispy results with up to 90 per cent less fat, so you can enjoy your favourite fried food without the guilt.
Think hot chips, golden chicken nuggets, crispy fish, fluffy roasted veg or even cakes, all done with virtually no oil.
What really sets it apart, though, is the two-drawer design. Each drawer operates independently with its own temperature and timing, but they can also sync up to ensure your whole meal finishes cooking at exactly the same time.
So, no more soggy sides waiting around while your chicken catches up.
One drawer is slightly smaller than the other, which means you can use less power for those quick weekday meals or heat-ups.
But when it's time to feed the whole family, the full 9-litre capacity comes in handy. And thanks to the Sync and Copy functions, cooking a full dinner is as simple as tapping a button.
The intuitive touchscreen makes it easy to select from eight preset cooking modes, including fresh and frozen fries, chicken, fish, meat, cake and vegetables.
No guessing, no fiddling with temps, just touch and go. Plus, the beeping reminder tells you when it's time to toss your food for perfect results every time.
Cleanup is easy too; the PTFE non-stick coated baskets slide out and go straight into the dishwasher. No soaking, scrubbing or swearing needed.
And if you're stuck for dinner ideas, the Philips HomeID app has step-by-step recipes that are tailored specifically for the dual-basket model, so you can get the most out of your new kitchen toy.
One shopper shared their experience, and it might just convince you:
'If you've owned a single drawer air fryer before, you'll know it can be frustrating trying to cook two different types of food that need different settings. This air fryer sorts that out. Put chips in one drawer, chicken nuggets in the other, hit the magic button, they finish at the same time, no checking needed.'
'It looks great on the bench top, too. The smaller drawer is perfect for small meals, and it uses less power. It's the perfect air fryer.'
Considering the huge discount, sleek design and unbeatable functionality, this is a deal that won't last long.

‘Acting like they're on parole': Proof Aussies are straight-up paranoid at tax time
Aussies love to chew the fat over just about anything, except if it is about their tax returns, apparently. From July 1, Australians can start lodging their tax returns for the financial year from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. This is a shock to approximately no one, as that is how the financial year works. However, when hit the streets of Sydney's CBD to find out if Aussies were clamouring to submit their returns or putting it off, the vibe was off. People acted less like we were asking if they had submitted returns, which is something pretty much anyone who earned money in the last 12 months needs to do, and more like we were asking them to admit to a crime on camera. Some were happy to stop and chat, but as soon as the word 'tax' was dropped, they immediately fled, one man even broke into a jog. Is anything worth jogging over? Keep in mind, we weren't chasing, I said, 'no worries have a good day!' At one point, the Gen Z cameraman I was with pointed out that everyone was straight-up 'acting like they're on parole'. Aussies were acting suspiciously, and there was a lot of nervous laughter. Finding out if people had lodged their returns yet felt as taboo as asking a Boomer how much money they earn. The response was nothing short of cagey and borderline paranoid. We spent over three hours approaching people and got five people to agree to be on camera, with the rest seeming genuinely terrified at the prospect. The most amusing part was that the people who did stop to chat certainly didn't say anything controversial. When asked one woman in a fancy scarf if she had gotten around to doing her tax return, she said she was on top of things. 'I have, yes,' she said. The woman then explained that she was happy with what she got back, but it would be going towards something pretty boring. 'Cost of living expenses and paying off a number of debts' she explained. Similarly, another woman who had already completed her tax return said she was planning to funnel what she has received back into her savings. 'Saving for a house and marriage. All that good stuff,' she said. She did add that she used to have way more fun with her tax returns. 'Not one cent went into savings. It went straight into shopping,' she said. Meanwhile a man in a trendy blazer admitted he was less on the ball. 'Definitely have not done it yet,' he said. When he does get around to doing it, though, he certainly doesn't have big plans for the tax return. 'I'm not much of a spender so I'll probably save it,' he said. Although he did add, 'I have a partner that likes to spend.' Another man said he was in 'the middle of doing' his taxes right now and the 'vast majority' would be going back into his savings. A tradie that filmed us chatting to him for his Snapchat story admitted he hadn't gotten around to it yet either. 'I haven't,' he said. Accountant Linda Mirams told that she's unsurprised that we got a frosty reception roaming the streets of Sydney. 'It is so much to comprehend and that is why people get nervous,' she said. Ms Mirams argued that people get nervous around tax time because there's not enough education around it. 'Most ordinary people don't have any idea about the basic tax system. It is crazy,' she said. 'There's also so much publicity and hype around audits.' The accountant advised that Aussies shouldn't worry so much, as long as they're not actively trying to deceive the tax office, any issues can usually be sorted. 'If you're way outside the norm, which is when you get flagged. There's so many little tricks around how you're allowed to claim stuff,' she said. 'If you do get flagged there are two parts. Firstly the ATO will go 'you're outside the norm' and you've got 28 days to respond.' Ms Mirams said as long as you can justify the expenses, then you're fine, and she stressed that there's a 'review process' and it isn't a witch hunt. 'You're not out having coffee and next minute you're audited and then being dragged away by the police,' she promised. The accountant said that, even if you make a mistake on your tax return and the ATO flags it, you don't need to panic. 'People think 'oh my God', but if we put everyone in jail that has a tax debt half the country would be in prison,' she said. Ms Mirams said that often, when you make a mistake, the ATO adjusts the outcome, and you pay back any shortfall. If you can't afford the bill, you can then go on a payment plan.

Employment rises by 2,000 but jobless rate jumps
Australia's unemployment rate has shocked expectations and jumped, with less Aussies in the workforce. Fresh figures released by the ABS shows the unemployment rate rose to 4.3 per cent last month, beating expectations of 4.1 per cent. Employment as a whole rose by 2000 people this month, following a fall of 1000 in May, and is up 2 per cent year on year. The rise in unemployment was determined as 33,600 workers became unemployed in the month of June. This was against expectations of 20,000 jobs to be added in the month and the unemployment rate to hold. The underemployment rate also increased to 6 per cent, as 40,200 part time roles were created and 38,200 full time roles were lost from the job market. The employment-to-population ratio remained at 64.2 per cent, and the participation rate, being people who are actively working, rose to 67.1 per cent. Hours worked fell 0.9 per cent in June, following a rise of 1.4 per cent in May. ABS head of labour statistics Sean Crick said: 'This month we saw a decrease in full time hours worked, down 1.3 per cent, associated with a 0.4 per cent fall in full time employees.' Prior to Thursday's official announcement, experts had tipped the unemployment rate to remain at 4.1 per cent, although they did predict a tightening of the jobs market. The Reserve Bank of Australia will be watching the jobless rate ahead of its next meeting, having the dual mandate of employment and controlling inflation. 'I think the focus for the RBA will be ensuring the labour market remains healthy going forward,' NAB's head of Australian economics Gareth Spence said. 'The timing of cuts is not super important. 'It's more about where do they end up.' In a move that shocked markets and disappointed homeowners, the RBA kept the official cash rate at 3.85 per cent during its July 8 meeting. Most economists had already pencilled in a rate cut as well as another cut in August.
