As fuel costs continue to rise across Australia, concerns are mounting that the impact is reaching far beyond the petrol pump — and into frontline healthcare.

Community pharmacies are warning that patient care is already being disrupted, with delayed medicine deliveries, reduced home visits, and growing pressure on services that vulnerable Australians rely on most.

Joining Brent is Mark Naunton, National President of the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia, to unpack what’s really happening on the ground, who is most at risk, and whether the system can adapt quickly enough to prevent further strain.

The discussion explores how fuel pressures are reshaping access to care, the growing reliance on telehealth, and what urgent steps may be needed to protect patients across the country.

Rising Fuel Costs Putting Patient Care at Risk

A disturbing new online trend is emerging — where criminal behaviour is being encouraged, filmed, and rewarded for social media attention.

So-called “crimefluencers” are operating across digital platforms, targeting young and vulnerable people and pushing them into acts ranging from petty crime to serious violence, all in the pursuit of online status and engagement.

Brent speaks with cyber safety expert Susan McLean to unpack how these networks operate, why young people are being drawn in, and how a culture of “post and boast” is escalating real-world harm.

They explore how recruitment happens through gaming and social platforms, the psychological drivers behind youth vulnerability, and what role tech companies, parents, and policymakers need to play in stopping it.

This is a confronting look at how online influence is crossing into criminal behaviour — and what can be done before more young lives are impacted.
