McDonald's Australia is set to release a mouthwatering menu item following 'secret' trial
McDonald's Australia is set to release a mouthwatering menu item nationwide.
From Wednesday June 11, customers around the country will be able to get their hands on crispy deep-fried Chicken McWings.
Earlier this year the fast food chain secretly trialled the product at selected locations and the results on social media showed it was a hit among customers.
This ultimately lead to the decision to release the offering on the permanent menu.
The tasty wings are made using 100 per cent RSPCA approved Aussie chicken wrapped a golden coating that's crispy with every bite.
Diners will be able to order either three wings or five wings alongside the choice of a new creamy ranch sauce or spicy buffalo sauce.
News of the return of the cult-favourite menu item will likely set fans racing to the nearest McDonald's.
Amanda Nakad, Marketing Director of Menu and Brand for McDonald's Australia, said: 'It's been a while since we have added something new to the permanent menu, but the response to Chicken McWings during the trial made it clear: Aussies want more chicken options with their order.

'Chicken McWings are now claiming their spot next to other legends like the McChicken, McSpicy, McCrispy and Chicken McNuggets. It's the golden era of chicken at Macca's - and we're just getting started,' she continued.
Foodie influencer Nectorious Papi added: 'There's a lot of wings on the market, but Chicken McWings have totally won me over, and they're even better with Ranch Sauce and Spicy Buffalo Sauce.
'I love that Macca's is a one-stop shop now - you can grab all your faves in one order. My go-to combo is Chicken McWings with Ranch Sauce and a McFlurry to finish - it's seriously so good.'

Australia's Monash IVF reports second embryo incident in two months
June 10 (Reuters) - Australian fertility group Monash IVF ( opens new tab on Tuesday reported a new incident related to an embryo transfer, within a couple of months after reporting a similar case where a doctor accidentally implanted the wrong embryo. The latest incident, which occurred on June 5 at the company's Clayton laboratory, has been reported to regulatory bodies and the company's insurer, Monash said, issuing an apology to the impacted couple. The company is also conducting an internal investigation. The firm added that it is implementing additional verification processes and patient confirmation safeguards to prevent similar incidents in the future. The clinic owner in April reported a similar incident where an Australian woman gave birth to a stranger's baby due to a Monash fertility doctor's error. Shares of Monash are down about 31% since the news. The mix-up has drawn attention to an industry that was largely self-regulated until recently and raised concerns about security protocols at IVF clinics. The facilities are regulated by a mix of Australian industry bodies and state government agencies.

Afterpay and Zip Pay changes for millions of Australians: What you need to know
Aussies who use Buy Now, Pay Later providers could see their credit scores take a hit, as the Albanese government cracks down on products like Afterpay and Zip. BNPL products require a buyer to pay off a debt in four equal instalments. But if a customer is late paying off the debt, they incur hefty late fees which can be much more punishing than credit card interest rates. From Tuesday, BNPL products will be subject to the same rules as credit cards - required to hold a credit license and comply with credit laws regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. Aussies might also start to see missed or late repayments to BNPL providers appearing on their credit reports, affecting their ability to get a loan or mortgage. BNPL providers will also be required to complete mandatory credit checks about a customer's financial situation, similar to a credit card application, under the new legislation introduced by the federal government in June 2024. It follows concern that some customers were borrowing more than they were able to pay back, with BNPL providers accused of acting like credit card companies without being subject to the same rules. 'Some BNPL providers will report additional information, such as repayments, on consumers' credit reports,' Elsa Markula, CEO of the Australian Retail Credit Association (ARCA), said. 'However, BNPL providers such as Afterpay will report credit checks only.' Ms Markula added that BNPL was now the third most used credit product in Australia, behind credit cards and home loans. 'But too few people understand how it affects their credit profile, especially young Australians. 'Under the new rules, your BNPL behaviour could directly impact your credit score and your future ability to get a loan, a credit card, or even a mortgage.' She urged Aussies to repay their BNPL loans on time to stop their credit reports from receiving a blow. 'While not all BNPL providers report payment history, where this information is reported it is the most important factor for building or protecting your credit score. 'Check your credit reports from all three major credit reporting bodies to ensure your information is accurate.' The new rules come as some Aussies rely increasingly on BNPL because they have maxed out their credit cards. After paying their mortgage and other household bills, consumers were turning to apps like Afterpay to pay for their groceries and petrol, financial counsellor Claire Tacon told Daily Mail Australia.

BREAKING NEWS Anthony Albanese to reveal his bold plan for Australia as he prepares to meet with Donald Trump
Anthony Albanese is set to lay out his second-term agenda in a key speech, as he prepares for potential talks with Donald Trump. In his first major address since an emphatic election win in May, the prime minister will speak at the National Press Club about his priorities for when parliament resumes in July. After securing an expanded mandate among voters at the election in which Labor increased its parliamentary majority, Mr Albanese will say delivering on promises will be his priority. 'Delivering these commitments matters for every Australian, regardless of who they voted for. It matters for our economy, for the jobs, skills, technology, infrastructure and energy we need to grow and thrive in the years ahead,' he will say in the speech. 'It also matters for our democracy. We are living in a time of significant global uncertainty - and that reaches beyond just economic instability.' May's federal poll was the first time since 1966 an incumbent government retained all the seats it held at an election. Mr Albanese will say promises of expanding urgent care clinics, cheaper childcare and an increase in affordable housing will remain central to his government's priorities. 'Our government's vision and ambition for Australia's future was never dependent on the size of our majority. But you can only build for that future vision if you build confidence that you can deliver on urgent necessities,' he will say. Labor will have a responsibility in its second term to disprove voter cynicism with governments, the prime minister will say. 'To recognise that some of this frustration is drawn from people's real experience with government - be it failures of service delivery, or falling through the cracks of a particular system,' he will say. 'And to counter this, we have to offer the practical and positive alternative.' The speech comes days before Mr Albanese flies to Canada for the G7 summit, where a one-on-one meeting with US President Donald Trump is on the cards. Tariffs imposed by Mr Trump on other countries are set to dominate discussions at the international forum, with Australia trying to carve out an exemption to the economic measure. Australia had been slapped with a 10 per cent tariff on all exports to the US, with steel and aluminium products having a 50 per cent tariff. Mr Albanese will say Australia will still be able to play a critical role in global affairs amid the instability. 'Our vision is for a society that is a microcosm for the world, where all are respected and valued and our diversity is recognised as a strength,' he will say. 'Our international relationships in the fastest growing region of the world in human history benefit us, but also provide a platform for us to play a positive a stabilising global role in uncertain times.'
