KFC Australia announces surprise new menu item NOBODY saw coming
The popular Zinger fillet has now been reimagined as a kebab for the very first time.
The Zinger Kebab combines the brand's signature spicy Zinger fillet with a selection of fresh, Middle Eastern-inspired ingredients.
It will be available nationwide from Tuesday, 5 August until Monday, 8 September.
The kebab features a Zinger fillet wrapped in warm flatbread, layered with crisp lettuce, a brand-new tabouli, creamy garlic sauce, and the brand's well-known Supercharged Sauce for an extra kick.
The launch brings together two pillars of Australian fast food culture in an exciting new menu item.
Sally Spriggs, KFC Australia's Group Marketing Director, told the Daily Mail that the product reflects the brand's continued focus on innovation and bold flavours.
'The Zinger Kebab balances the iconic Zinger kick with the vibrant freshness of premium ingredients, resulting in a flavour journey that's both bold and incredibly satisfying,' she said.
The Zinger Kebab can be purchased individually, as part of a combo, or included in a box.
Foodies will also be delighted to know the dish is available for delivery through the KFC App.
The launch comes amid increasing consumer demand for portable, flavour-forward fast food options, and is expected to be popular with customers looking for a convenient alternative to traditional kebabs or burgers.

Just in: From next year, Victorians will have the legal right to work from home for two days every week
Can't be bothered with the office commute? We've got good news. Over the weekend, the Victorian government announced that it will be rolling out new legislation to protect the rights of Victorians to work from home for two days every week – with the law due to be officially introduced in 2026. According to the new law, any employee in Victoria from the public or private sector – aka anybody who can 'reasonably' work from home – will have the right to do so at least twice a week. The move has been introduced primarily to help families, with Premier Jacinta Allan explaining that 'work from home works for families and it's good for the economy'.The perks for families are pretty obvious, but the economic benefit of employees working from home has traditionally been more hotly contested. According to the Victorian government, flexible working arrangements don't only save employees money (it's estimated Aussie families can save an average of $110 a week or $5,308 every year), but also boost productivity – those who work from home work almost 20 per cent more hours than those who work in an office full time. Other benefits include reduced congestion and boosting accessibility to employment – including opening jobs up to more women with children, carers and people with disabilities. Since the pandemic opened the doors to flexible working situations, workforce participation across Australia has risen by 4.4 per cent, with more than a third of Australian workers now regularly working from home – including 60 per cent of professionals. 'If you can do your job from home, we'll make it your right… not everyone can work from home, but everyone can benefit,' explained Allan, who has decided to implement the law in response to calls from to the Victorian government, flexible working environments are 'at risk', with working from home requests being increasingly denied across the state. Obviously, the law won't apply to all professions, and it won't be introduced straight away. Before implementing the law, the government will consult with businesses to ensure the law reflects real-world experience for various business types and professions. Following consultation, the law is set to be officially introduced in 2026.

Sall Grover begins federal court appeal against Roxanne Tickle's gender discrimination case win
Giggle for Girls and Sall Grover have begun their appeal to overturn a landmark court decision that found the women-only social media app and its CEO had unlawfully discriminated against Roxanne Tickle, a transgender woman. On Monday, the full court of the federal court heard that Grover's team believes the app – designed as a 'women-only safe space' – constituted a 'special measure' under the Sex Discrimination Act (SDA), which allows discrimination with the aim of redressing historical disadvantage between men and women. In an unexpected move, an application for a new amended notice of appeal with an entirely new ground of appeal was lodged by Giggle and Grover's team on Monday morning with only one hour's notice for Tickle's legal team. The application was refused. Sign up: AU Breaking News email Grover is challenging justice Robert Bromwich's milestone August decision in the first gender identity discrimination case to reach the federal court. Tickle, from regional New South Wales, sued the women-only social media app for gender discrimination, claiming she was unlawfully barred from using Giggle for Girls in September 2021 after the firm and Grover said she was a man. Tickle was initially allowed to join the app, which shut down in 2022, but was then later removed from the platform. She contacted Grover on multiple occasions seeking readmission. Tickle was awarded $10,000 plus costs after Bromwich found she had been indirectly discriminated against, in the decision that tested the meaning and scope of the SDA. The appeal is being heard over four days by justice Melissa Perry, justice Geoffrey Kennett and justice Wendy Abraham in Sydney. Giggle and Grover's legal team is being led by Noel Hutley SC. The team has dropped its constitutional challenge argument and is appealing against paying $10,000 damages, claiming Tickle was not discriminated against indirectly, on the basis Grover did not know Tickle was transgender when she barred her from the app. Grover previously said that the ruling erred in its interpretation of sex under the SDA, had not considered critical evidence and did not recognise that the app was a 'special measure' fostering substantive equality between women and men. Grover has persistently referred to Tickle as male and during last year's hearing, said she would not address her as 'Ms' Tickle. On Monday, Hutley said a woman was a 'natal' woman – or assigned female at birth. He told the court the SDA was a 'compromise' and that its special measures were 'ephemeral', claiming that 'just about any special measures targeted at a group' would, through the act's other legal carve-outs, probably involve discrimination of another group. He said special measures should be protective and enabling, not restrictive. Tickle's legal team is expected to argue that every special measure needs to work for all groups protected by the act simultaneously. Tickle's barrister, Georgina Costello KC told the court 'a real review of the evidence leads to the easily drawn conclusion that, for the purposes of the Sex Discrimination Act, Ms Tickle is a woman and she was a woman when the appellants excluded her from the Giggle app.' Costello said: 'She presented her gender identity to the world and to the Giggle app as a woman. Her identity is as a woman and as a transgender woman.' Sign up to Breaking News Australia Get the most important news as it breaks after newsletter promotion She said Bromwich had made the correct conclusion 'that Ms Tickle was a woman' and that her sex as a woman was 'legally unimpeachable'. Tickle's team is expected to argue also that the judge did not fully consider all of the evidence and that Tickle's barring from the app and failure in her appeals to Grover to rejoin the app both amounted to direct, not indirect, discrimination. Tickle is seeking a total of $40,000: $30,000 in general damages, and $10,000 in aggravated damages. Her team will argue previously awarded damages of $10,000 are inappropriate and did not take into account Grover's conduct around the proceedings. During the three-day trial in April 2024, the court heard Tickle had lived as a woman since 2017, has a birth certificate stating her gender is female, had gender affirmation surgery and 'feels in her mind that psychologically she is a woman'. The respondents claimed that biological sex was immutable and that the app had been intended as an online refuge for women. The court has granted leave to the sex discrimination commissioner, Equality Australia and the Lesbian Action Group – which unsuccessfully attempted to exclude transgender and bisexual women from its public events – to intervene, or participate, in the appeal. Changes to the SDA in 2013 made it unlawful under federal law to discriminate against a person on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or intersex status. In April 2025, the UK supreme court issued a historic and definitive ruling that the terms 'woman' and 'sex' in the UK's Equality Act refer only to a biological woman and to biological sex.
