Australians are in for a world of pain, with mortgages and rents set to rise after our second interest rate hike in as many months.

It was a line-ball decision from the Reserve Bank – with five members voting for a quarter of a percent jump and four against – putting our official cash rate at 4.1 per cent.

RBA Governor Michelle Bullock says high inflation left them with no choice, but others have slammed the call.

Today, Chief Economist at The Australia Institute, Greg Jericho, on why he thinks the RBA has got it horribly wrong.

The war in the Middle East has sent Australia’s fuel prices soaring.

And people are worried that if the battle between the US-Israel and Iran continues for another month – Australia may have to begin rationing fuel.

Already, drivers are panic buying, stockpiling and some country petrol stations are running dry.

Global oil supplies are under threat as Iran attacks tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.

Today, Tim Buckley, the Director of Climate Energy Finance, and the question: as the oil shock hits home, how high could the price at the pump really go?

“Prices could double”: how the fuel crisis will hit your hip pocket

This month, one of the biggest shows in Australian radio was suddenly pulled off air.

For years, Kyle and Jackie O have been treated as untouchable – a breakfast radio juggernaut that could pull huge audiences, generate endless headlines, and weather scandal after scandal.

So much so that the Australian Radio Network handed the pair a $200 million deal – one of the biggest contracts Australian media has ever seen – betting Sydney's most popular breakfast show could go national.

But that bet turned shaky: The show struggled to win over Melbourne, controversies kept piling up, and the regulator repeatedly found it in breach of broadcasting standards.

Now, after an on-air rupture that has blown apart the partnership at the centre of it all, the future of that enormous deal is in doubt.

Today, Kyle and Jackie O’s former boss and host of the Game Changers Radio podcast, Craig Bruce, on what happens when the most expensive bet in the Radio business falls apart.
