Australia’s fuel crisis has shifted — and it’s now hitting supply chains, food production and small business in real time.

This isn’t about rising prices anymore. It’s about access, prioritisation and what breaks next.

In this episode, Karl speaks with operators on the ground already adapting:

Charlie Blomfield — farmer and agricultural operator managing real-time fuel and input shortages on the land. Scott Challen — builder and business owner navigating rising costs, supply disruption and construction pressures.

Together, they break down what’s actually happening now:

• Rationing fuel on farms

• Pulling back production

• Changing delivery models to survive

• Cutting costs and preparing for disruption

Because the reality is this:

There is no short-term fix.

And as supply tightens, the impact moves fast — from freight, to food, to everyday Australians.

This episode breaks down where things are heading next, what businesses are doing right now to stay afloat, and why the next phase of this crisis will hit harder than the first.

What’s really happening in Lebanon — and why does it matter to Australia?

He also speaks candidly about migration, government decisions, freedom of speech, and what he believes Australia is getting wrong.

This is a confronting, unfiltered conversation about global conflict, leadership and the future of Australia.

America showed its power in this war.But it also showed its limits.

And the world noticed.

China is watching.Russia is benefiting.Netanyahu walks away stronger.

Meanwhile, the clock is ticking — because for every day this conflict drags on, it adds weeks of disruption to the global system.

Fuel. Supply chains. Defence readiness.

This is bigger than a single war. This is a shift in global power.

Australia is facing a fuel security crisis, rising costs and growing pressure on its industries – and few voices are more outspoken than MP Bob Katter.

From the opening moments, the Katters bring chaos – sharp takes, father-son roasting and zero-filter politics. 

In this explosive episode of The Karl Stefanovic Show, Bob Katter and his son Robbie Katter break down:

• Why Australia exports fuel cheaply – and buys it back at a premium

• The looming fuel shortage and its real-world consequences

• Ethanol, energy policy and what governments aren’t doing

• Mining, gas exports and billions lost in missed opportunities

• The rise of minor parties like One Nation

• Trump, economic nationalism and whether Australia needs a reset

This is raw, unfiltered and at times chaotic, but it’s a conversation about the future of Australia that you need to hear.

This episode of The Karl Stefanovic Show dives into what could be one of the biggest scandals in Australia right now — the NDIS.Journalists Drew Pavlou and Pete Zogolous reveal what they’ve uncovered on the ground — from empty “NDIS provider” storefronts in places like Lakemba and Bankstown, to a system they claim is being exploited at scale.They say the numbers don’t add up. In some areas, nearly 1 in 15 people are registered providers. Businesses with no visible services. Shops with no clients. And when questioned? Aggression, silence, or being told to leave.Karl calls it what it is — a national issue.The NDIS is now one of the fastest-growing parts of the Australian economy — outpacing even Medicare. But where is the money actually going?The boys say they’re willing to risk everything to expose it.This is raw, confronting, and raises serious questions about accountability, oversight, and who’s really paying the price.Watch now.A HUGE thanks to the legends at R5.

Australia’s construction industry is on the brink — and this could be the tipping point.

Scott Challen, a builder with 17 years in the industry, breaks down how rising fuel costs, supply chain shocks and government policy are pushing businesses to collapse.

He claims the system is failing small businesses, immigration isn’t solving the skills crisis, and the real impact will hit families hardest.

“This is an emergency… there’s nothing left in the tank.”

If this continues, what happens next?

On December 14, Bondi was shaken by a horrific attack that changed lives in an instant.In this episode, Karl brings together two men forever connected by that day.

Elon, a father who nearly lost his life protecting his children — stepping in front of unimaginable violence to shield them.And Daniel 'Beardy', the lifeguard who refused to stand by — stepping in and helping save Elon’s life in those critical moments.

And it wasn't just Daniel, the Bondi Lifeguard crew were all there - risking their lives to save everyone else. This is their first time sitting down together since the attack.They walk through what really happened, what goes through your mind in a moment like that, and what it means to survive something you were never meant to.

A story of instinct, courage, and the split-second decisions that change everything.

Fuel shortages, rising prices, and a fragile supply chain — how prepared is Australia, really?

Karl speaks with defence strategist Gus McLachlan about the real impact of global conflict on Australia, why the Strait of Hormuz matters, and how quickly things could escalate.

From fuel security to national defence, this conversation lays out a confronting reality: we may not be as prepared as we think — and what comes next could be far worse.

In this episode, Karl speaks with DroneShield CEO Oleg Vornik about the rise of drone warfare and what it means for the future of global conflict.

From early-stage technology to real-world deployment in war zones, Oleg explains how drones are transforming military strategy, security, and surveillance.

They also discuss Australia’s vulnerability, the challenges of defending against drone attacks, and how rapidly evolving technology is reshaping both military and civilian risk.

A fascinating look at one of the most important — and least understood — shifts in modern warfare.

Clive Palmer sits down with Karl for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation on the state of Australia right now — and where he thinks it’s all heading.

From rising cost of living and fuel insecurity, to migration, the NDIS and government spending, Palmer lays out why he believes Australians are being let down — and what he would do differently.

He also opens up on: – Why he’s willing to spend tens of millions on politics – His views on war, global instability and Australia’s vulnerability – The future of Australian industry, energy and jobs – Family, legacy, and what drives him to keep going

Agree or disagree, this is a conversation that pulls no punches.
