The Karl Stefanovic Show

Fuel shortages, rising prices, and a fragile supply chain — how prepared is Australia, really?
Karl speaks with defence strategist Gus McLachlan about the real impact of global conflict on Australia, why the Strait of Hormuz matters, and how quickly things could escalate.
From fuel security to national defence, this conversation lays out a confronting reality: we may not be as prepared as we think — and what comes next could be far worse.

In this episode, Karl speaks with DroneShield CEO Oleg Vornik about the rise of drone warfare and what it means for the future of global conflict.
From early-stage technology to real-world deployment in war zones, Oleg explains how drones are transforming military strategy, security, and surveillance.
They also discuss Australia’s vulnerability, the challenges of defending against drone attacks, and how rapidly evolving technology is reshaping both military and civilian risk.
A fascinating look at one of the most important — and least understood — shifts in modern warfare.

Clive Palmer sits down with Karl for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation on the state of Australia right now — and where he thinks it’s all heading.
From rising cost of living and fuel insecurity, to migration, the NDIS and government spending, Palmer lays out why he believes Australians are being let down — and what he would do differently.
He also opens up on: – Why he’s willing to spend tens of millions on politics – His views on war, global instability and Australia’s vulnerability – The future of Australian industry, energy and jobs – Family, legacy, and what drives him to keep going
Agree or disagree, this is a conversation that pulls no punches.

Australia is running out of fuel — and Matt Canavan says we’re not ready.
In this episode, the newly appointed National Party leader joins Karl to talk about the growing fuel crisis, why regional Australia is already feeling the pain, and what happens next if supply tightens further.
From net zero to drilling, from Canberra to the bush, this is a straight-talking look at the decisions shaping the country right now.

Interest rates are rising — and Australians are feeling it.
Christopher Joye joins The Karl Stefanovic Show to explain why inflation is still out of control, why the RBA is being forced to act, and what it means for mortgages, house prices and everyday Australians.
From government spending to global conflict, this is a blunt breakdown of what’s coming next — and who’s really to blame.
