Easter Fuel Price Shock & The Sounds Of Australia 2026
If you could press play on Australia, what would you hear? This week, the National Film and Sound Archive has added nine more iconic sounds to its permanent collection, and they range from the deeply moving to the flat-out hilarious. We’re unpacking the 2026 inductees, including the viral 'succulent Chinese meal' arrest, Missy Higgins’ breakout hit ‘Scar’, and the pedestrian crossing 'beep' that ended up in a Billie Eilish song. Plus, we look back at the powerful 2015 Australian of the Year speech by Rosie Batty and the jingle that ensured no Aussie would ever forget the number 1300 655 506. Claire Murphy joins us to travel through the sonic history of the country and find out what really makes a sound 'quintessentially Australian'. πŸ—žοΈ HEADLINES An inquest will reconstruct the final moment of fugitive Dezi Freeman's life Fuel prices may not drop before the Easter long weekend A giant Trans flag has been unfurled in Brisbane to protest state government restrictions to gender affirming health care Tiger Woods told police he was looking at his phone prior to Friday's crash Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie will not be attending the royal family Easter gathering on Sunday  πŸ“© GET IN TOUCH Got a story, news tip-off, feedback or dilemma?

Push For WFH & Free Public Transport Nationwide. What's Next In This Fuel Crisis?
With the conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran dragging on, the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has sent shockwaves through global supply chains and Australian petrol pumps. As the Prime Minister unveils a National Fuel Security Plan to stop the panic buying, we look at why the fuel excise has been halved and what it actually means for your hip pocket. Plus, with Victoria and Tasmania introducing free public transport while other states hold out, we’re joined by political analyst Amy Remeikis to unpack the federal government's relief strategy and why some states are refusing to come to the party. πŸ—žοΈ HEADLINES Locals in Walwa are wondering if one of them turned in fugitive police killer Dezi Freeman  Donald Trump has threatened to obliterate Iran's power structure after they called the US peace deal "unrealistic" Researchers say data shows vaping causes cancer The makers of Euphoria show Eric Dane's last role in new trailer  πŸ“© GET IN TOUCH Got a story, news tip-off, feedback or dilemma?
