How did we bury this lead - Australia didn’t even crack the top 10 in the latest global happiness rankings for 2026, landing at 15th. No surprises, the Nordic nations dominated yet again this year with Finland securing the top spot. 

So what can they teach us about happiness? Well right now, a big business in Sweden is trialling a feel-good fix in the most unexpected place.

Donald Trump announced that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 10-day ceasefire
The PM has confirmed the purchase of 100 million litres of diesel and thousands of tonnes of urea fertiliser

HEADLINES: Geelong Refinery Blaze Impacts Fuel Supply & Madonna's New Album 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/445c8a7d-e0e3-4706-9d9e-b42e003c4216/transcript

It has been seven weeks since the war involving the US, Israel, and Iran began, and while a fragile two-week ceasefire is currently in place, the world is holding its breath.

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump threw a spanner in the works by announcing a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most critical energy corridor, after initial peace talks in Pakistan reached an impasse over Iran’s nuclear ambitions. 

Today, we're unpacking what this escalation means for your bottom line. With global oil prices surging, Australian airlines have already begun hiking fares and cutting domestic flight capacity to manage soaring fuel bills.

Plus, we examine a historic breakthrough as Israel and Lebanon agree to their first direct negotiations in over 30 years.

Director of Research from the United States Studies Centre, Jared Mondschein, joins us to discuss whether these high-stakes diplomatic moves will lead to lasting stability or a global recession.

🗞️ HEADLINES
Ceasefire between Israel & Lebanon could be on the horizon
Trump claims Strait of Hormuz open
New job figures expected to be early indication of Australia's economic health during war 


Harry & Meghan's tour down under continues for third day with speaking engagements, charity events and cultural walk
Cannes Film Festival confirmed to be part of storyline in The White Lotus season 4 as filming commences
