The conflict in the Middle East continues to rage on, and there's concerns about what it could mean for the Australian economy.

The US and Israel have struck more than 1200 Iranian targets, with plans to ramp up the bombardment in coming hours, and Iran has launched more strikes and choked oil tanker transit through the Strait of Hormuz.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says RBA governor Michele Bullock says it's too early to know the impacts, but economists have warned this could see petrol prices rising by 40 cents a litre.

GrabOne is getting a second life under brand new owners. 

Wellington's Paradigm Group has bought the GrabOne brand and assets.

It went into liquidation last October, leaving many consumers with vouchers they couldn't use. 

The new boss Paul Raeburn says they're bringing back half a dozen key GrabOne employees.

He says they're energised to get the platform back to what it was. 

"I stopped looking at GrabOne probably five or six years ago, because there wasn't anything I wanted to do there. We've got some real heat today - Cordis Hotels, Flamingo scooters, Holy Moly, all of those staples."
