I'm not 100% but i agree
I'm not 100% but i agree with you on this one, markings seem slightly different to the wirrah and more consistant with a chinaman

found this in fishwreckapedia
Also known as Charlie Courts, Chinaman Rock Cod are red to brown in colour and have a large mouth and long dorsal fin with lobed soft dorsal. They can be distinguished by 4 or 5 prominent broad oblique bars and sometimes there are white blotches on the throat and chest. Each body scale has a small white spot creating a peppered appearance. The lateral line is hard to see and the tail fin is usually round to emarginate.
Chinaman Rock Cod grow to 2kg and 45cms long.
They are considered very good eating.
Chinaman Rock Cod are demersal and found from Geographe Bay Western Australia, around the tropical north to southern New South Wales.
