This is now prohibited in South Australia for the moment. If the SA government can temporarily ban Hookah because of concerns it may spread COVID-19, why not ban it due to concerns it causes cancer and other health problems?

Because COVID causes a potentially life threatening illness to others, whereas as smoking only mostly impacts on you (it would need to be prolonged passive smoking to cause a long term illness to others).

A local fish n chip place (regional ) is advertising cheap Tuesday deal , 3 pieces of mackerel, 5 calamari rings, 1.25l coke and 2 scoops of chips for $50.

I know fish isn’t cheap in Australia but that seems a rip off .

I looked at their menu online and added it up individually and it came to around $41 .

This place always thinks it can charge a fortune they were selling quiches for $20 not that long ago.

That is an absolute rip-off.
Cheap Tuesday at my local fish and chips is $7.40 for a standard serve of fish and chips - add the calamari rings and the coke and that’s less than $30.

Sounds like something I could imagine seeing as a report one night on A Current Affair! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Good grief Fish and Chips should be like a classic item that always stays around a consistent price range.

This place sounds like one of those fast food outlets with overpriced food and drinks.

I’m only 4km from that shop my local one is $30 for 2 of us. Red Emperor is $10 each/ chips $4.50 a serve so $30 at my local fish n chip shop. This is Yeppoon though. Still seems expensive?

If i go into the centre of town in Yeppoon it works out about $27, the fish is $9 and chips $4.50 per person.

That Fish n Chip shop is only 4km from me , their Red Emperor is $14 and Barramundi $17, Mackerel $8.50 they moved up here from regional NSW and took over the business a couple of years back

Here’s their prices , zoom in to see it clearer.

How big is a serve?

Are you far inland? Is it fresh mackerel? I’m really at a loss as to how they could justify this price.

No we’re on the coast the whole town is coastal . They say all their fish is fresh Aussie fish.

A serve is a scoop is enough or 1 person. Like a big dinner plate or just over worth.
