Famous US burger chain opens pop-up in Sydney for one day only
A popular American fast-food chain will launch a pop-up store in Sydney today, opening for a one-day-only event.
Fans of In-N-Out Burger will have the opportunity to snag some of the chain's most popular menu items at the Coogee Bay Hotel from 9am to 3pm or until sold out on June 11.
A spokesperson for Coogee Bay Hotel has told news.com.au that crowds were already lining up before the opening time.
'The international In'N'Out team have flown out to run the pop-up,' they explained.
So Aussies who have tried the American burgers can rest assured they'll be the same ones they know and love.
The pop-up will be serving up In-N-Out's famous Double-Double burgers, featuring two beef patties, two slices of American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, and the brand's signature sauce.
Also available will be the Animal Style burger from the chain's 'hidden' menu, which features mustard-cooked beef patties, extra melted cheese, grilled onions, pickles, and an extra dollop of the special sauce.
For those wishing to forgo the carbs, the Protein Style burger is also available, replacing the bun with lettuce wraps.
'For those who have not yet experienced In-N-Out Burger, be sure to come and check us out at this special promotional event,' the chain said in an Instagram post on the Coogee Bay Hotel's page.
Aussies were thrilled at the news, taking to social media to share their excitement.
'This is so exciting!' said one.
'Yes, please,' another wrote.
However, others anticipated that the burgers would sell out before many people had the chance to get their hands on one.
'Let us know if (when) it sells out at 10:30am so we don't waste a drive,' said one.
Someone else said so many people will have 'FOMO', so will line up for hours and hours, only to be disappointed.
Although there's no permanent outlet in Australia, previous In-N-Out pop-ups have proved popular and sparked calls for the chain to be introduced in the country.
In-N-Out is a family-owned and operated burger restaurant, established in California in 1948.
It has become renowned for not using any frozen products, meaning that all of its menu items are prepared fresh.
The main menu consists of burgers, chips, and milkshakes.

‘Scarce resources': AUKUS submarine sales at risk from Pentagon review
Washington | The Albanese government is being warned that a Pentagon review risks imperilling Australia's nuclear submarine ambitions if the US administration takes a hardline stance on the threat from China in the coming years. American national security experts familiar with the Trump administration, who spoke with The Australian Financial Review, viewed the most likely outcome of a 30-day review of the AUKUS pact would be a White House push for more investment from Canberra, either in its own defence hardware or for US shipbuilding facilities.

How you could get $20,000 back in your tax
For most Aussies, tax time means either a nice tax refund that can boost your savings, or the sneaking suspicion you've left money on the table. According to new research from Officeworks, lots of Aussies are getting tax time wrong – and it's costing us serious money. From lost receipts to missed deductions, and even more in between, the result is the average taxpayer is donating hundreds or even thousands of dollars extra to the ATO just because they don't know better. Below I've included some of the most common tax mistakes and how much they could be costing you. And spoiler alert, if you're falling into these traps it could cost you more than $18,000 over the next decade. So whether you're a regular employee, working for yourself, or running a side hustle, here are the top tax mistakes to avoid – and how you can keep more of your hard earned money. Not claiming what you're entitled to One of the biggest mistakes made by Aussies at tax time is a simple one – not claiming all the deductions you're entitled to. According to H&R Block, people who lodge their own tax return miss out on deductions that cost them an average of $525.50 each year. And it's not even just the big things people miss. Officeworks research found that just 24 per cent of people claim deductions for office furniture, 20 per cent claim pens, and 46 per cent are deducting electronics and tech accessories. Given how many people are working from home, and buying things they use for their work, this shows there are a heap of people missing out on deductions. If you're spending money on deductible items for your work, you're entitled to claim them – but only if you're tracking them – and then actually include these expenses in your claim. Nearly 30 per cent of Aussies lose receipts and end up claiming less, according to Officeworks EOFY research. That could easily mean $500 in missed deductions (or even more), meaning $185 less in your tax refund based on a 37 per cent marginal tax rate. This mistake is an easy one to avoid, it just requires a little bit of organisation. The ATO accepts digital receipts, so you can make your life easier by filing digital receipts on your computer, using an app, or choosing a supplier like Officeworks that offers digital receipts or their own app for tracking. That way at the end of the year, you'll have everything organised and in one place, making your claim easier – and most importantly making sure nothing is missed. Not planning at EOFY Bad timing can be just as costly as bad habits when it comes to your tax return prep. The research from Officeworks shows that 44 per cent of Australians make work related purchases before 30 June to boost their tax deductions. When your deductible expenses land before 30 June rather than after 1 July, this means you'll get the deduction, and the refund a full year sooner. But if you miss the window, you could miss out on the deduction. If you have another $500 in expenses deferred or forgotten, that's potentially another $185 missed this year. Not getting the right help with your return Lots of Aussies still lodge their own tax returns, and for some people that's completely fine. But the data shows a clear benefit to getting some good help with your tax prep. People that lodge their tax returns through a tax agent receive an average tax refund of $3550, compared to $2576 for self-lodgers. This reflects a difference of $974 every year, or almost a thousand dollars you could potentially be missing out on by doing your own tax return (even after fees). And to make getting some help here even easier, the cost of a tax agent is fully tax deductible. Total cost of these mistakes These tax mistakes may seem small, but they add up. Across the four areas outlined here, you're looking at a total of $1870 less back in your refund this year. Over the course of a decade, that's a total of $18,695 – or almost $20,000 being left on the table. The wrap The tax system is full of opportunities to get more out of the money you already have, and keep more of your hard earned income – but only if you understand the rules and how to use them to your advantage. Most people aren't trying to dodge tax on purpose. It could be that you're too busy, unsure, or maybe even a little overwhelmed. But by avoiding a few common mistakes, and being just a little bit more intentional, you could be saving tens of thousands of dollars, maybe even more over the years ahead. To get the most out of your tax refund this year, and use the money as a platform to start the new financial year in a stronger position, there are a few things you need to look out for. Keeping your receipts, tracking everything (even the small stuff), being strategic with your timing, and getting good help – it all makes a big difference.

One delayed Spirit of Tasmania ship to arrive in August, premier says
The newest Spirit of Tasmania ship is finally set to leave Europe and start heading to Tasmania in just over a week. It follows a lengthy saga involving mechanical delays and an infrastructure debacle. Spirit of Tasmania IV was due to leave Finland late last year, but ferry operator TT-Line failed to build its berth on time. The ship was then moved to a port in Scotland while the Liberal government explored options to lease it out. That is where it has been for the past six months. The ship was expected to leave in May, but then an issue was detected with its liquid natural gas (LNG) system. Finnish shipbuilder Rauma Marine Construction has managed to modify the system, and the ship has been undertaking sea trials. On Sunday, Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff revealed the ferry would be expected to leave Scotland and make its way to Australia in 10 days' time. He said the journey would take about six weeks, with the predicted arrival in August. The ship will head to Hobart where it will receive final fit-outs. Its berth in Devonport is not expected to be completed until at least October 2026. It is unclear what will happen to the ferry until it can be used to transport passengers between Tasmania and the mainland. The ship is one of two new ferries that were built in Finland. Spirit V is still undertaking sea trials. The Spirit of Tasmania saga was one of three reasons listed on Labor's successful no-confidence motion against the Premier. The no-confidence motion eventually led to the calling of the election. During its campaign, Labor has drawn attention to the many issues with the project and promised that both ships would be home before Christmas. On Sunday, Labor leader Dean Winter also said he would make sure the new ferries could refuel with locally produced LNG at their home port. The two new ferries have a dual fuel system, meaning that they can run on both diesel and LNG. Mr Winter said upgrading the LNG facilities in Devonport will trigger more that $70 million in private investment and create 150 construction jobs and 15 ongoing roles. Tasmanian Gas Pipeline chief executive Wacek Lipski said this was not new technology and the fact private companies ran on it proved it made economic sense. "All up there's 50,000 tonnes of carbon emissions to be saved by switching to LNG," Mr Lipski said. "The vessels are covered by safeguard mechanisms … [that] means the vessels must reduce emissions now and by 2030 be 43 per cent from where they are now. Mr Lipski said his company had the capital and technical knowledge to take on the project, it just needed an agreement with ferry operator TT-Line. The Liberals said all refuelling options were being planned for. "These are matters that are already being addressed by TT-Line," Mr Rockliff said. "All options will be canvassed to ensure that we do have the right infrastructure."
