McDonald's Australia has officially confirmed that the beloved $6.95 McSmart Meal is ending in its current form on 30 June. From 1 July 2026, they are raising the price of the core McSmart Meal to $7.95 (a 14% price hike) and restricting the $6.95 "Saver" version to the app without a choice of sides. The original deal—allowing us to choose two cheeseburgers, small chips, and a drink for under seven dollars—was a vital, affordable lifeline during a severe cost-of-living crisis. We call on McDonald's Australia to completely reverse this decision. Keep the original exact structure and $6.95 price point intact for in-store, drive-thru, and kiosk ordering, without locking value behind forced app tracking or unwanted menu modifications.
