Rumour confirmed: Driver stunned as train ploughs into bogged car

6PR Breakfast with Millsy & Karl, Friday October 30, 2026

From the Summary Podcast - Every spring, bursts of purple take over Australian suburban streets and social media feeds as jacarandas burst into bloom, marking the approach of summer and university exam season. While they feel like an Aussie staple, these iconic trees are not native to Australia and come with their own mix of folklore, ecological quirks, and street-level chaos.

On this episode of The Summary, host Josh Bryant digs into how an imported tree became an Australian cultural icon. Professor Susan Martin from La Trobe University shares the history behind how jacarandas arrived on our shores, the folklore surrounding their springtime bloom, and how they became an enduring feature of suburbs nationwide. Then, Jeff Smith, President of the Grafton Jacaranda Festival, joins to explain how his northern New South Wales town crowned itself the jacaranda capital of Australia, drawing tourists from around the world and managing crowds flocking to get the perfect photo.

Friday night Western Derby: Great stage or bad deal for fans?

From the Summary Podcast - Four weeks after the ban on card surcharges came into effect, customers and business owners are still dealing with confusion, rising costs, and unexpected price hikes. While the reform was designed to increase transparency at the checkout, many cafes and venues have lifted overall prices well beyond the cost of payment processing.

On this episode of The Summary, host Josh Bryant looks into whether the surcharge ban delivered on its promise or simply triggered a new round of inflation. Clinton Maynard, host of Money News, breaks down the actual transaction costs for merchants and where the tax office fits into the puzzle. Then, Wes Lambert, Chief Executive of the Australian Restaurant and Cafe Association, explains why absorbing merchant fees became the final straw for struggling hospitality venues already battling surging overheads.
