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

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. 🗞️ HEADLINES Ben Roberts-Smith will front a bail court today after spending his first night in jail charged with war crimes Nationals leader Matt Canavan will address the National Press Club today outlining his "hyper Australia," economic vision Trump's deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz approaches, the White House saying only he knows what he will do Kayne West's visa to perform in the UK has been revoked 📩 GET IN TOUCH Got a story, news tip-off, feedback or dilemma?

Trump Threatens To ‘Take Out’ Iran & Samantha Murphy Case Update

The very last time Samantha Murphy’s family can verify she was alive was around 7am on the morning of February 4, 2024. There’s an image from a CCTV camera that police released of the 51-year-old, in the activewear she would usually put on ahead of her run. But while that image might be the last time we were able to confirm that she was okay, it’s allegedly not the last time she was seen. Tomorrow, the trial begins for the man accused of murdering Samantha Murphy. He has pleaded not guilty to the charge. 🗞️ HEADLINES Savannah Guthrie has returned to the US Today Show E-bike sales have jumped as petrol prices remain high across Australia US President Donald Trump says Iran peace proposal not good enough NASA's Artemis II astronauts have reached the furthest point any human has been from earth 📩 GET IN TOUCH Got a story, news tip-off, feedback or dilemma?
