Australian fast food chain giving away 10,000 free chickens but customers need to get in quick
Run don't walk, Australian fast food chain Oporto will be giving away 10,000 free chickens to celebrate Dia De Portugal.
From midday on Tuesday, customers at the chicken restaurant will be able to enjoy their trademark Portugese flame-grilled chicken for free.
But there's a catch — those who want to snag the chicken at no charge will need to get in quick, as it will only be on offer for the first 50 customers at each store across the 200 locations in Australia.
'Dia De Portugal, or Portugal Day, is a global event in Portuguese culture and what better way to mark it than with our craveable, Portuguese flame-grilled chicken? It's our way of bringing people together with food, flavour and generosity,' Oporto head of marketing Ben Simmons said.
The offer will be available to West Aussies at Perth locations in Balcatta, Bently, Brabham, Canningvale, Joondalup, Karrinyup and South Perth.
Anyone who misses out on the free food will still be able to grab the Bondi burger for $5 throughout the day.

Reserve Bank could deliver shoppers plenty of pre-Christmas cheer
The turnaround in market expectations on future rate cuts was driven in part by the Reserve Bank's most recent board minutes, which showed at its May meeting it seriously considered a half percentage point rate reduction, and the soggy national accounts for the March quarter. Loading The economy expanded by a less-than-expected 0.2 per cent through the first three months. Household spending, which accounts for half of all economic activity, increased by 0.4 per cent through the quarter. But those figures confirmed the struggle facing many consumers, especially those facing higher mortgage repayments. Over the past 12 months, consumer spending has increased by just 0.7 per cent. Spending on clothing and footwear grew the fastest, up by 3.2 per cent, closely followed by insurance and financial services, growing by 3.1 per cent. However, consumers spent twice as much on insurance and financial services, at $26 billion, in the March quarter than on clothing. Households sliced spending on new cars and driving those vehicles, expenditure on food grew by just 0.4 per cent, while eating out at restaurants or takeaways lifted by a modest 0.3 per cent. AMP deputy chief economist Diana Mousina said the figures, on top of the general economic outlook, meant the Reserve Bank would have to consider more rate relief. 'This gloomy growth outlook argues for more interest rate relief from the RBA, as the economy is travelling slower than expected. We had been expecting another 0.25 percentage point rate cut at the August, November and February board meetings, but now expect another 0.25 percentage point cut in July,' she said. One concern about further interest rate cuts is that they may drive up property prices in a country with some of the least affordable housing in the developed world. But Westpac's head of Australian macro-forecasting, Matthew Hassan, said existing high prices would prove an ongoing headwind for the market. He said the February and May rate cuts, on top of expected further rate relief, were providing some impetus to prices. 'However, the reaction remains measured to date, consistent with our view that the nature of the easing and the high starting point for prices would see a fairly muted affordability-constrained response,' he said. 'All up, where a lift is evident, markets appear to be tracking a slow, shallow turn. That may change. We are wary of housing's famous interest rate sensitivity. There is also evidence of substantial 'pent-up' or delayed activity.' Not everyone is convinced the bank will deliver another cut in July. ANZ's head of Australian economics, Adam Boyton, noted that the national accounts showed household finances were now improving rapidly, which meant the RBA could hold fire on further interest rate relief. Loading 'Household incomes are now showing robust growth, with the level of real income having returned to the pre-COVID trend. Given the strength in income growth, we don't think it will take much more on the interest rate front to make households confident enough to spend more,' he said. TD Securities, which had expected just a single rate cut this year in August, now thinks the RBA will move again in November.

Bear necessities: Meninga's master plan for success in the west
'I love Isaah, I think he's a great person and he's a great leader and player, but I don't think Penrith will let him go,' Meninga said. 'I've had a look at the list [of players off contract], but it's more important we first try to understand the local community, and what type of characteristics and values [they want in players]. We have to work out what makes a Perth Bear. 'I've got relationships with those [Australian] players, but you have to go through their managers, and because I know someone doesn't mean they'll come. 'We're talking about players in the top echelon players at their clubs; their clubs' will make it a priority to keep those players. 'My role, and the role of the recruitment and retention team, will be providing those players a 'why' to come to Perth.' The NRL appointed Anthony De Ceglie as CEO, Meninga as coach, and are expected to appoint a board in the coming weeks. The Bears' black and red colours will remain, while the logo will be unveiled on Wednesday week when Origin II is played in Perth. Assistant coaches and general managers of football have already been interviewed by the NRL, including one of Meninga's long-term assistants with the Australian team, Tristan Hay. 'I get along with Tristan, and hope we get him involved in some capacity,' Meninga said. Because of the challenge of signing players from the east coast, Meninga will focus on Perth's own backyard, including identifying Indigenous talent, especially with the number of First Nations players in rival code the AFL continuing to decline. 'Absolutely, they're great athletes,' said Meninga, when asked about focusing on Indigenous youth. 'Regardless if they play league or not, we need to give them opportunities. Loading 'Any young kid over in Perth, we'll give them opportunity, and if they see pathways, if they see the development programs, they can see that opportunity to stay home and play for their club. Down the track, I don't know how far down the track, but you want local kids participating in the NRL and doing really well.'
