Can you Identify this fish???

Hi all,
I was fishing one of my usual spots and my mum pulled this thing up onto the wharf. Caught on bait, put up a good fight and has nasty looking teeth.
At first I was leaning towards parrot fish but the mouth does not look like a parrot fish and I don't think there are parrot fish at the spot. So... what is it?

Naaaa, blowies are much more annoying because they don't fight. They are still extremely annoying.
