    HEADLINES: Ex-PM Pushes War Involvement & Taylor Swift Wedding Reports

    10/04/2026 | 2 mins.
    🗞️ HEADLINES
    The federal government has shut down calls from former Prime Minister Tony Abbott for Australia to join the war in Iran, saying they’re not a “particularly serious contribution”.

    US President Donald Trump has issued a fresh warning to Iran, amid reports it’s charging fees to tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

    Police say the death of Queensland MP Jimmy Sullivan at his Brisbane home is not being treated as suspicious.

    Wedding bells may be ringing for Taylor Swift, with reports the pop star has officially locked in a date.

    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.
