The Karl Stefanovic Show

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.

A BIG thanks to our wonderful sponsors AG1, a very easy part of my everyday making sure I never have a reason to call in sick.

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.

Australia is running out of fuel — and Matt Canavan says we’re not ready.

In this episode, the newly appointed National Party leader joins Karl to talk about the growing fuel crisis, why regional Australia is already feeling the pain, and what happens next if supply tightens further.

From net zero to drilling, from Canberra to the bush, this is a straight-talking look at the decisions shaping the country right now.

Interest rates are rising — and Australians are feeling it.

Christopher Joye joins The Karl Stefanovic Show to explain why inflation is still out of control, why the RBA is being forced to act, and what it means for mortgages, house prices and everyday Australians.

From government spending to global conflict, this is a blunt breakdown of what’s coming next — and who’s really to blame.

Fuel prices, war in the Middle East, and a cost-of-living crisis hitting Australian families — how did we get here?In this explosive episode of The Karl Stefanovic Show, Karl sits down with former Senator Gerard Rennick and political commentator Alex Antic to unpack the global tensions around Iran, the threat to Australia’s fuel supply, and why some experts believe the country is dangerously unprepared for an energy crisis.With Australia holding only weeks of fuel reserves, farmers, miners and transport workers could be the first to feel the pain if global supply lines are disrupted. But the conversation quickly turns to the bigger picture — from government spending and the NDIS to superannuation, the rise of bureaucratic power and whether Australia’s political system is broken.The trio also dive into the chaos inside conservative politics, Matt Canavan’s rise inside the Nationals, and whether right-leaning parties in Australia will eventually be forced to unite to survive.Is Australia heading for an economic shock?Is the global order shifting?And are politicians completely out of touch with everyday Australians?This is one of the most wide-ranging and controversial political conversations yet.A big thanks to our exclusive betting partner neds.
