  • The EAST?

    Can we ease up on the eastern states news? A bit more focus on Western Australia as per the name suggest would be better. And far too much NRL coverage for an AFL state…

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump wants Aus warships & new Craig Silvey charges
Q: Why isn't Australia going to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz?
Andrew Green explains that Australia's naval power is limited and resources are prioritized for regional security rather than abroad, and that there has been no formal request from the Trump administration, implying cautious consideration rather than immediate action.
Trump wants Aus warships & why we can’t supply them
Q: Andrew, why isn't Australia gonna send warships?
The guest explains that Australia's navy, while reasonably sized, lacks the advanced features like VLS launch cells and is not in a position to contribute offensively. Additionally, there has been no formal request from the Trump administration, and policymakers prefer to keep scarce naval resources in the region for defense and contingencies at home, rather than displaying a large show of force abroad.
Fuel TSAR to fix crisis, Cyclone Narelle & Iran vs May Budget
Q: Caitlin, what exactly does a fuel czar do and how will they make my petrol cheaper?
Anthea Harris explains that the role will coordinate across federal and state agencies, streamline communication with the private sector, and oversee distribution and supply logistics to stabilize prices.
“Scared”: The town in Cyclone Narelle’s path
Q: And where can people go if they're worried about their houses maybe not being ready for a cyclone of this magnitude?
The designated cyclone shelter is the Apuna Pima Wellbeing Center, with on-site staff including the Men's Shed Coordinator and a nurse from Queensland Health to assist evacuees and monitor safety.
“Scared”: The town in Cyclone Narelle’s path
Q: Lucretia, how would you describe the mood in the community right now?
The mood is a mix of alertness and fear, but there is a strong sense of solidarity as people band together, prep as best as they can, and rely on services and community networks to weather the cyclone.
