There's nothing tricky about the name of Tiny. It squeezes 15 people along two walls, has a kitchen pass that doubles as a high-table, and serves a tight menu from a studio apartment-sized cooking set-up. It helps that couple Zac Shearer (The Lincoln, French Saloon) and Jamila Fontana live three minutes' walk away, allowing mid-service dashes home to get more ice or beer.
Tomato tarte tatin on house-made puff is finished with a red-wine burnt caramel, smoked quail egg with potato foam and beluga caviar makes an elegant snack, and abalone is tossed through a bold seaweed butter. Josh Fry, the opening chef for Rocco's Bologna Discoteca and Poodle, helped write the menu.
Seven cocktails, 10 wines and three no-frills beers (including VB longnecks) get the job done, drinks-wise.

China's biggest EV maker will develop future models specifically for European tastes
BYD, the Chinese car maker whose Seal U was the UK's top-selling plug-in hybrid in May, believes it is about to introduce more models more quickly than any car company ever has before. Speaking at the UK launch of the Dolphin Surf, Alfredo Altavilla, BYD's special advisor for Europe (and former COO at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and chairman of ITA Airways) said: 'I have zero problem in saying I don't think there has ever been such a product offensive done in Europe as the one that BYD is doing. 'We have been launching six cars in less than a year. We are covering all of the most important segments of the European car market and the Dolphin Surf was the missing piece in the A/B-segment.' In addition to new models sold under the mainstream BYD brand, the company – already the biggest producer of EVs in the world – will add models from brands less well known in Europe. These include Denza, which targets premium German marques, and Yangwang, which is said to be a technology leader. When BYD introduces new tech, Denza and Yangwang will receive it first, with BYD models following later. 'We're going to get together again after the summer break for another important reveal, and through the end of the year, there will be others. All this is fundamentally building the image of a brand where technology never stops, and this is allowing a set of new cars to be available in Europe in really no time,' said Altavilla. The first Dolphin Surfs to go on sale in the UK have been built in China but production will begin before the end of the year at a new factory in Hungary, where BYD has its European base. The aim is not only to make cars for Europe locally but also to design and engineer them for Europe. The Dolphin Surf has arrived now, 18 months behind deliveries in China and South America, as a result of re-engineering the car to suit European tastes. 'As we go forward into 2026, more and more of the BYD line-up will be specific to this region and this is a big step forward compared to the other Asian brands,' Altavilla said. 'BYD top management has clearly seen that if you want to play big in Europe, you have to have a dedicated product line-up and this is what we will have.' BYD, which has taken a 2% market share in recent months in the UK, intends to be one of Europe's top-selling car makers. 'With the technology we have, coupled with the localisation of the production of the most important cars, we have everything we need to be one of the key players,' said Altavilla. 'Whether it's number one, one of the big three, one of the big five, it doesn't matter, but [BYD will be] one of the big players in the region.'

Anthony Albanese criticised for ‘vindictive' move after Coalition MPs see staff numbers slashed
Anthony Albanese has been labelled 'vindictive' by the opposition after cutting its staffing numbers in the wake of Labor's thumping election win. Pauline Hanson also claims One Nation was denied its fair share of advisers after doubling its Senate seats, accusing Albanese of a 'capricious and politically motivated' move against the rightwing party. Almost seven weeks on from the election and with federal parliament set to resume on 22 July, Albanese has finalised staffing allocations for opposition and crossbench MPs for the next term. The prime minister has discretion over the allocation of personal staff, which are typically more senior advisers who assist MPs with policy development, political strategy and media. After weeks of uncertainty, Albanese informed the opposition leader, Sussan Ley, late on Monday night that the opposition would lose roughly 20 personal staff roles, including 16 senior adviser positions. The Coalition had 106 personal staff positions before the election, 39 of which were based in the former opposition leader Peter Dutton's office. Labor sources confirmed Albanese's decision was based on the Coalition's diminished numbers after it lost 15 lower house seats and three Senate spots at the 3 May election. Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email Albanese also decided to cut about 10 of the government's own positions, reducing its overall staffing numbers despite gaining 21 new MPs and senators at the election. The government had 499 positions in the last parliament, including 65 in Albanese's office. The Coalition maintained it was entitled to 21% of the government's allocation under a longstanding parliamentary convention, which would equate to about 102 positions for Ley's team. Instead, the opposition would receive about 85. Those roles would be spread across Ley's 30-member shadow ministry, which was a similar size to Dutton's frontbench. The shadow special minister of state, James McGrath, said Albanese's 'vindictive and nasty' decision was an 'attack on accountability'. 'The Australian people deserve an opposition that is resourced appropriately to be able to hold the government to account, especially during such a precarious and challenging time for our country,' McGrath said. The Greens' staffing numbers had also been cut after the loss of three seats and defection of Dorinda Cox reduced their numbers in federal parliament from 15 to 11. Guardian Australia understands the Greens will receive about 3% of the government's share, which equates to roughly 14 positions – down from 19 in the previous term. Sign up to Breaking News Australia Get the most important news as it breaks after newsletter promotion Albanese infuriated crossbenchers at the start of the last term after slashing their staffing allocation in one of his first acts as prime minister. The government eventually handed all parliamentarians an extra electorate officer – an increase from four to five – to help them manage the workload. Several independent MPs and senators confirmed to Guardian Australia that their staffing numbers were unchanged from the previous term. However, Hanson was furious with One Nation's allocation. The Senate crossbenchers – including Hanson and her colleague Malcolm Roberts – were allocated two senior advisers each in the previous term. But after One Nation won two extra seats at the May election, Albanese has allocated the party four adviser positions – just one for each senator. 'Adequate staffing only applies if the prime minister doesn't deem you a political threat,' Hanson said. 'I will seek an urgent meeting with the prime minister in an effort to renegotiate the staff One Nation are allocated.' The prime minister's office was contacted for comment. In a statement to Guardian Australia, a government spokesperson said it was 'routine practice to revise staff allocations in a new parliamentary term'. 'Staffing allocations are made based on a range of considerations, including demonstrated need and individual circumstances,' the spokesperson said.
