Probably yelloweye redfish (C. australis). I would have said nannygai (C. affinis) but it had 6 dorsal spines and had the yellow eye (didnt think nannygais did)

Swallowtails look pretty similar in some ways but quite easy to tell apart if you're looking for the right things

That tells me i'm releasing my next one! To a waiting mouth hopefully, hehe.
The dollie we got spat out half a dozen mulies (or pretty similar, but probably not previously frozen ones given the conditions). One of the deep fish spat out a tiny whitebait.

Swallowtail have the very
Swallowtail have the very obvious tail and a different less stocky body shape, so definitely not a swallowtail. Tail is quite pointy as well as being long See the previous link for a pic.
All 4 (or 3) like jigs though! I've gotten the swallowtail in 90m, and all of them in 200.

Yellow-eye Red Snapper - Centroberyx australisIn Western Australia commonly referred to as Nannygai (Centroberyx affinis), although true Nannygai only occur on the south-east coast of Australia.
Yellow-eye Red Snapper are red with distinguishing yellow eyes. The pelvic fins are pale, the pectoral fins are almost transparent and the forked tail has a broad intense red stripe on each lobe. Like Red Snapper, these fish also have 6 dorsal spines. True Nannygai have 7 dorsal spines.
Yellow-eye Red Snapper grow to 32cms in length.
They are considered good eating.
In Australia they are found from Shark Bay Western Australia, south around to the South Australian/Victorian border, in deep offshore waters.
