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.

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.
