Hectic fish burgers and ‘Happy Meals': Don's team opens seafood diner on the north side
'I couldn't believe some of the stats: how many different species of prawns we're not eating, all these fish that are [trendy] that we shouldn't be eating as much of,' he says.
Seafood comes via Sydney-based supplier Andrew Joseph, also known as The Afishonado. 'He has a little black book of fishers that he knows do it right,' says Cordelia chef Josh Norris, also of Don's. 'There's a list of 10 to 15 [fish on offer] he sends out each week.'
Driven by what's available, the menu shapeshifts day to day – and isn't posted online. There are some constants, though. Always expect pasta, like a bouillabaisse-inspired Moreton Bay bug casarecce; a 'hectic, KFC-looking' fish burger (only served at lunch Wednesday and Thursday) akin to the fried-chicken sandwich at Don's; and a hibachi-grilled whole fish.

‘Case not established': Shock blow as RBA keeps rates on hold in July meeting
Australian households will have to wait a little longer for more mortgage relief, with slowing inflation and weak retail sales not enough to sway the central bank that the fight against cost of living is over. A cautious RBA has held the official cash rate at 3.85 per cent following its July meeting, with the shock move defying expert commentators and the money markets predictions. Prior to Tuesday's announcement, the money market had placed a 92 per cent chance on a rate cut off the back of weaker than expected economic data. Mortgage holders will now have to wait until August at the earliest to get further interest rate relief. Tuesday's annoucement follows a rate cut in May, with the central bank opting against back-to-back movements in the official cash rate. Ahead of the announcement, Betashare chief economist David Bassanese said the 'case for a rate cut had not been established.' 'Although May trimmed mean annual inflation dropped to 2.4 per cent, this followed a solid 2.8 per cent gain in April - and there's every risk it could bounce back again in the more comprehensive and reliable June quarter CPI report later this month,' he said. 'Prudence suggests the RBA should and would await confirmation of lower inflation in the quarterly CPI report before cutting again in August - despite the market pricing a rate cut next week with near certainty.' But he conceded last Wednesday's retail data gave the RBA a yellow light when it comes to making a rate call. 'Accordingly, although retail sales rose a weaker than expected 0.2 per cent in May, it does not necessarily give the green light to the RBA to cut interest rates next week,' he said.

Division at the Reserve Bank of Australia as it keeps rates on hold
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) board has kept rates on hold at 3.85 per cent. The RBA cut rates by 0.25 percentage points in both February and May, but left rates unchanged at its April meeting. The RBA had been widely expected to cut rates again after a decline in inflation and softer GDP growth, but the board were divided, with six in favour of keeping the rate on hold and three voting against it. It said: "With the cash rate 50 basis points [0.5 per cent] lower than five months ago and wider economic conditions evolving broadly as expected, the board judged that it could wait for a little more information to confirm that inflation remains on track to reach 2.5 per cent on a sustainable basis." The RBA has kept interest rates on hold. Source: SBS News The RBA board will next meet again in August. The RBA's decision to reduce the cash rate to 4.10 per cent back in February marked its first cut from a 13-year high of 4.35 per cent. The RBA had maintained the 4.35 per cent rate for around 15 months — from when it was introduced in November 2023 in response to rising inflation, throughout 2024, up until February 2025. — With additional reporting by the Australian Associated Press This is a developing story and this article will be updated.
