The 2025 Budget For Basic B*tches

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/9bf72c91-0ad1-4f6a-b71e-b2a60075dc63/transcript

How low do you let your fuel light get before you start to sweat?

With international conflict sending prices skyrocketing and some Australian towns facing actual rationing, that 'E' on your dashboard is looking a lot more literal.

We’re diving into why the bowser is suddenly a battleground and how regional Australia is bearing the brunt of a tightening supply chain.

Plus, the 2026 Oscars are officially over. From the record-breaking films to our nominated Aussies, Mamamia’s Head of Entertainment Laura Brodnik joins us to unpack every major moment.

And in headlines today, Germany joins Australia and the UK, deciding not to send war ships to the Strait of Hormuz as requested by Donald Trump; Israel sends more troops further into Lebanon; The Matildas face off against China in Perth tonight in the Asian Cup semi final; Queen Mary and King Frederick will spend the next two days in Melbourne after meeting fans in Canberra; Michael B Jordon has been spotted taking his new Oscar for In and Out burgers
