    02/04/2026 | 26 mins.
    Australia is facing a growing fuel crisis — and the consequences are already being felt across the economy.

    In this discussion, Tony Abbott and Daniel Wild analyse the South Australian election result, and what it means for the future of Australia; the situation in Victoria and the implications of Moira Deeming's pre-selection dramas; the national and international implications of the war in Iran; and the Prime Minister's weak and self-indulgent address to the nation.
