HEADLINES: Former Aussie Soldier Granted Bail & The PM Hits Back At Trump’s Swipe

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/f22f0626-b321-4883-b0da-b42f00426664/transcript

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.

🗞️ HEADLINES
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
Ben Roberts‑Smith is expected to apply for bail today after spending more than a week in custody
Victoria Beckham has finally spoken out about the public fallout with her son, Brooklyn
