The sound of regional Australia. News and analysis from the ABC's network of regional reporters.

Fuel prices fall, Kroger reports higher sales in its first quarter and Kwik Trip is closing 13 alcohol and tobacco stores.

Many villages only get one or two fuel deliveries by barge each year, so high spring prices due to the war with Iran are mostly locked in, even after a tentative peace deal brought some relief to global oil markets.

Since the conflict between the US and Iran began, consumers here in Ireland have experienced a spike in fuel prices.But if the Strait of Hormuz is to reopen, could drivers see the price at the pumps drop?Charlie Weston, Personal Finance Editor with the Irish Independent, speaks to Daniel McConnell on The Last Word.Hit the ‘Play' button on this page to hear the piece.

In this Garage Edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux tackles rising fuel prices, global uncertainty and what he sees as growing public frustration with government decisions. From the Strait of Hormuz and fuel excise relief to the SpaceX IPO frenzy, climate change scepticism, Australia's tax burden and the expanding public service, Jeremy questions whether Australians are becoming poorer, less optimistic and increasingly disconnected from those in power. He also examines social media's impact on children, the state of modern education, concerns surrounding charity regulations, Centrelink's customer service failures, and the broader shift away from human interaction in government and business.

Businesses in regional Australia have been hit hard by the war in the Middle East and want the federal government to extend fuel and freight discounts.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he will decide about the fuel excise at the end of next week. 

The Prime Minister and Finance Minister are urging fuel companies to pass on any oil price drops to consumers, in the wake of the US/Iran deal. Waitomo's chief executive Simon Parham spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

An economist says it won't be long until 91 petrol is consistently back down at $2.80. The US and Iran peace agreement to cease hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz is sending positive signals for the global oil industry. Westpac chief economist Kelly Eckhold says prices will stay low, once ships are moving normally. "We know that there's pretty low inventories out there around the world at the moment, so we need that supply chain to be working at full tilt for a while so that all of those things can get replenished." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

News of a peace agreement to be signed this between Iran and the US is prompting optimism about fuel prices and the global economy, but the Finance Minister is staying cautious. Both sides have agreed a deal, to be formally signed in Switzerland on Friday - and it's understood the the Strait of Hormuz will reopen and 60 days of nuclear negotiations will commence. Nicola Willis says there's been breakthroughs followed by backsliding over the last few months as the conflict continued. "I'm steeled for possibly bad news, but hopeful this is going to stick because we've already seen the global oil price come down pretty significantly as a result, and I'd love to see it keep coming down." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The US and Iran have agreed to a peace deal, and the news has brought some hope into the economy. Oil prices have fallen about 4 percent since the countries announced an agreement to halt hostilities. Brent crude is now trading at US$84 ($143) a barrel, off the back of a similar drop in prices on Friday. Shane Solly from Harbour Asset Management unpacked the market reactions.

In this episode, Monika unpacks the growing inflation pressures quietly building beneath the economy and explains why the recent ₹3 fuel price hike is likely only the beginning of a longer and more uncomfortable adjustment cycle. She breaks down the widening gap between wholesale inflation and consumer inflation, showing how the government and oil companies had been absorbing massive fuel losses for months before finally passing some of the burden to consumers. From rising transportation costs to the ripple effects on household expenses, she explains how inflation slowly spreads through every corner of daily life. She also warns that while food prices have remained relatively manageable so far, risks from a weak monsoon and rising fertiliser costs could soon intensify the pressure.She then zooms out to examine the larger global and economic backdrop shaping this decade. What began as a period of strong growth potential for India has instead collided with war-driven supply shocks, volatile commodity prices, and slowing global growth. Monika discusses why higher inflation will likely mean higher interest rates, more expensive loans, slower economic momentum, and greater market volatility in the months ahead. Yet she also cautions against falling into panic or “collapse thinking,” arguing that India still has the policy capacity to manage the crisis. Her advice throughout is grounded and practical: postpone unnecessary expenses, avoid risky speculation, maintain liquidity, and focus on financial resilience rather than dramatic portfolio changes. The larger message is one of disciplined realism — difficult periods require prudence, patience, and perspective, not fear.In listener queries, Abhishek Kumar seeks guidance on building separate investment plans for his daughter's education and his retirement while planning an eventual return to India, leading to a discussion on long-term SIPs, NRE investing, and disciplined asset allocation; Meera asks how to thoughtfully deploy a ₹1 crore windfall after exiting direct equity investments, raising broader questions around index investing, asset allocation, NPS, and financial planning for single women; and an anonymous 24-year-old IT professional looks for clarity on building his very first long-term investment portfolio, prompting a conversation on keeping portfolios simple, using index funds effectively, balancing equity and debt, and avoiding unnecessary complexity early in the investing journey.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) Why Inflation Is Starting to Show Up Everywhere(00:00 – 00:00) Fuel Prices, Global Shocks and the Cost of Living Ahead(00:00 – 00:00) Building Long-Term Wealth as an NRI Returning to India(00:00 – 00:00) Designing a Safe ₹1 Crore Portfolio Without Losing Growth(00:00 – 00:00) A Simple Investing Framework for a 24-Year-Old BeginnerIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at ⁠mailme@monikahalan.com⁠ Monika's book on basic money management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monika's book on mutual funds⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monika's workbook on recording your financial life⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Calculators⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.html⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan. Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Production House: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.inoutcreatives.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Production Assistant:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Anshika Gogoi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

The Iran war, which began on February 28th, has disrupted air traffic routes and pushed up jet fuel prices. That much is clear. But with the war showing little sign of resolution, what is less clear is what will happen as the aviation industry grapples with inevitable fuel shortages?The disruption to aviation has been severe in the Middle East and Asia but, to date, the impact on European airlines has been relatively minimal. Flights have been cancelled and prices have risen marginally but for most, it has been a case of travelling as usual.That though could change radically and soon as jet fuel becomes scarce and the price airlines must pay for it – already 90 per cent higher than before the war began – rises even further.The industry is now talking of rationing but what might that look like?Irish Times consumer affairs correspondent Conor Pope explains.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

SCOTUS just delivered a massive victory for color-blind elections! In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court struck down Louisiana's congressional map as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The state's attempt to create a second majority-black district went too far by making race the predominant factor — and the conservative majority said enough is enough. Justice Samuel Alito wrote the opinion, making it crystal clear: Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act cannot be used to force states into race-based discrimination that violates the Constitution. This landmark decision limits how heavily race can be used when drawing voting districts and opens the door for other states to redraw their maps without fear of activist courts demanding racial quotas.
