    The Two-Week Truce: Is Trump’s War With Iran Really on Pause?

    08/04/2026 | 18 mins.
    The conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran has brought global supply chains to their knees, but a sudden 11th-hour deal has secured a two-week ceasefire. As the Strait of Hormuz conditionally reopens, we look at the flow-on effects that have hit us at the local servo and the checkout.
    Plus, with the US President making some of his most alarming threats to date, including the warning that an 'entire civilisation' could be at risk, we ask if this is just internet bravado or a genuine threat of war crimes.
    Amelia Lester joins us to unpack the ten-point peace plan, if the ceasefire will hold and why Trump is now staring down the barrel of impeachment.

    Pre-War Fuel Push, Free Transport Trap & The Deadline That Could Change It All

    07/04/2026 | 18 mins.
    As the conflict between the US, Israel and Iran intensifies and President Trump’s bombing deadline looms, we are breaking down exactly how a war on the other side of the world is hitting you right here at home.
    First, we sit down with international relations expert Dr Jessica Genauer to examine the 'complete demolition' threats, alleged war crimes, and whether a ceasefire is even on the table.
    Then, we investigate the fuel crisis. With service stations running dry and the government slashing the fuel excise, we ask the NRMA’s Peter Khoury why prices aren't dropping faster.
    Plus, as Aussies flock to public transport to save their hip pockets, Professor Graham Currie explains if our trains and buses can actually handle the surge in demand and whether free fares are a long-term solution or just a temporary fix.
