Red Rooster announces rate cut - and it's the tastiest news you'll hear all week
While the rest of the country waits to hear whether interest rates will finally budge, Red Rooster has swooped in with the only rate cut anyone actually wants — 20 per cent off chicken.
Yes, on Tuesday 12 August, Australia's original chicken shop is throwing its own 'Rate Cut Day' and slashing the price of every Click & Collect order by a glorious fifth.
No press conferences, no economic jargon, just the promise of golden, juicy, crispy happiness at a fraction of the price.
'We know everyday Aussies are doing it tough,' says Red Rooster CEO Samantha Bragg.
'While the RBA crunches numbers, we wanted to serve up something immediate. A hot rate cut — Red Rooster style.'
Translation: They've seen the headlines about inflation and decided the most effective form of relief is a family-sized box of fried chicken and some potato and gravy.
And here's the best part, claiming this tasty discount is so easy you could do it while debating whether you can afford your rent increase:
Download the Red Rooster App or head to www.redrooster.com.au
Choose Click & Collect from the Pick Up menu
Enter the code CUT20 at checkout
Collect from your local Reds
Eat your feelings (and your chicken) with 20 per cent more joy
There's a small catch: it's Click & Collect only, so you'll have to leave the couch for this deal.
But given you're saving cash and getting out of the house, you can almost count it as an economic stimulus exercise.
The offer is valid at Red Rooster restaurants nationwide (excluding stadiums and airports), for one glorious day.
Red Rooster has been feeding Aussies for over 50 years, and right now they're in the middle of a glow-up with revamped stores, snazzy uniforms and new menu items.
Yet their knack for swooping in with a timely deal is as strong as ever.
So on Tuesday, 12 August, forget the finance reports.
The only numbers you need are 20 per cent off, one-day-only, and one code: CUT20.
Whether the RBA hikes, holds or cuts, your juicy chicken budget is safe, and possibly even thriving.

ASX 200 LIVE: ASX to slip, Wall St awaits July CPI data, reporting on Tuesday: Life360, SGH, Seven West Media
Australian shares are poised to open lower, amid modest weakness in New York as the rally from April's lows lost momentum pending Tuesday's US July consumer prices report. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to extend a tariff truce with China for another 90 days, according to CNBC. Trump earlier said gold imports to the US will not be hit by tariffs. Results scheduled for Tuesday are: Life360, SGH and Seven West Media. For more details see our reporting season calendar. The US CPI report is expected to show that President Donald Trump's embrace of tariffs continues to bleed into prices for goods, offset in part by lower petrol prices. 📩 Get the daily Results Wrap newsletter during earnings season, with our Chanticleer columnists' analysis of the key results of the day.

The policy decision will be released at 2.30pm, as well as the latest Statement on Monetary Policy. Governor Michele Bullock is scheduled to hold a press conference starting at 3.30pm. eToro market analyst Farhan Badami: 'While the July [RBA] pause was a surprise, a consecutive pause in August will be a shock. Three cuts before the end of the year are still expected, but there's very little wiggle room left in the calendar if the RBA heightens its degree of risk aversion any further.' Earlier, at 11.30am, NAB will release its July business confidence and conditions survey. Later in the day, at 10.30pm, the US will release its July CPI report. Yardeni Research: 'The odds are low that we'll see downside surprises in July CPI inflation data. There's little doubt that tariff effects are boosting durable goods inflation, as they did in June. But the risk of a big upward surprise is tempered by signs that rents and used car prices are cooling. The Cleveland Fed's Inflation Nowcasting model has the CPI rising 3.04 per cent in July and 3.02 per cent in August. Those would be considered too hot to justify Fed easing.'

Melbourne suburbs smashing house price records after rate cuts
More than 10 Melbourne house price records have fallen since the Reserve Bank cut interest rates in February. And with mega results north of $30m the sales are proving it's not just the city's mortgage belt that have been holding out for a rate cut. Cashed up neighbours have swooped on at least two local landmarks, with title documents recently confirming the sale of a Brighton waterfront mansion understood to have topped the suburb's $31.6m record in the past month. Key underquoting fix Vic govt has dodged since 2009 Melbourne tipped to lead 2026 property boom | KPMG Meanwhile, in one of Melbourne's most affordable suburbs, Frankston North's most expensive home is now a $900,500 four-bedroom house after Sydney-based investors pushed a local buyer to the unprecedented sum at an auction in April. Renovations have also been a key factor driving home sales to new heights. In the west, the couple behind an Albion home's extension that smashed the local record by $150,000 are hunting for another project with half an eye to besting the benchmark for neighbouring Deer Park or Ardeer. Owners Emily and Dean sold their 33 Adelaide St, Albion, reno for $1.42m in late May, about 10 days after the year's second rate cut. Emily said with expectations of another cut this week boosting borrowing capacity, and likely to lower mortgage costs, she would expect more records to tumble as home renos picked up — especially in Melbourne's west. 'And the west is a great, growing space and it has a lot of potential and has reached the cusp of change, with a lot of families wanting to live in this area,' she said. The renovator added that resistance to paying record sums would also likely drop, especially for homes with exhaustive extensions and updates, as they were the most likely to tick enough boxes that buyers would see value in them — even at unprecedented prices. 'If it's a cheaper property for a cheaper price, that's great — but long-term, how much money will you tip into it to make it what you want? To buy something that's already finished will almost always be better value than doing it yourself — especially with building materials and trades and everything going up,' she said. Real Estate Institute of Victoria interim chief executive Jacob Caine said a flurry of record breaking sales was 'surprising', as Melbourne was still waiting for a 'wholesale' surge off the back of rate cuts. 'However, there's always an opportunity for standout properties to attract incredible interest and record prices,' Mr Caine said. 'And I absolutely expect that we will start to see more and more suburb records tumble as anticipated rate cuts take effect.' He added those hoping to get a record sale for their home might want to consider renovations, as there was still 'significant trepidation' around undertaking them in light of building industry difficulties that had made the few homes going the extra mile more appealing.
