What are french fries called in Australia?

Australians primarily call French fries "chips" or "hot chips," with context or thickness differentiating them from bagged potato crisps (also called "chips"), though the term "fries" is used for very thin, fast-food style versions, reflecting American influence, say Quora users, Reddit users, and Wikipedia users.
