From Old Man Emu to True Blue and Beyond, John Williamson has been sharing the stories of Australia for 55 years.

Williamson is marking the milestone with a national farewell tour and a brand new album, How Many Songs.

John Williamson told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "I just figure I'm the luckiest person in the world to live in this country, for a start and to have the talent to write songs and actually sing them."

"The bush is the thing that sustains me most of all, I'm absolutely besotted with the Australian bush," Mr. Williamson said.

The Albanese Government has promised to extend the instant asset write-off for tradies if re-elected which would allow small businesses and trade workers to deduct $20,000 in essential purchases off the tax they pay.

Deputy Opposition Leader Sussan Ley told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "It's a complete con job and I actually don't think you can believe it just four weeks before an election."

"This Labor Party had been prepared to let this tax break fall to just $1,000 for our tradies and our small businesses."

"We pressured them in the budget week to maintain it at $20,000 and they've done that for one more year." Mrs. Ley said.

Donald Trump has announced a baseline 10 per cent on all imports to the US as well as “reciprocal tariffs” on all countries of “approximately half” of what they charge America.

Anthony Albanese has had his response saying the tariffs have "no basis or logic" and that they are "not the act of a friend." 

Shadow Trade Minister Kevin Hogan told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "History teaches us this, when countries start to have trade wars, lift tariffs, it slows down global growth and slows down everyone's economy."

"One in four jobs in Australia are directly related to an export industry and then there'd be lots of other indirect jobs related to that."

"We want the global growth to grow, it's good for our exporters and I think this is going to have a detrimental effect on us," Mr. Hogan said.

Easter is one of the busiest periods on Queensland roads.

Operation X-Ray Easter will run from April 4 to April 21, covering the entire school holiday period.

One of the officers in charge of the operation, Superintendent Steven Newland told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "We encourage people to do the right thing and use common sense on our road network, particularly at times of high risk like Easter, when we have a lot of traffic on the road."

"We have increased risk, particularly in the current environment, where we've got a really big rain event happening at the same time and that increases the risk to everyone on the road," Superintendent Newland said.
