Yesterday on program we received a few calls from trade workers who shared their concerns about how the fuel crisis will impact their business. In this edition of The Conversation Hour we speak with industry figures about just how acutely it will be felt and also what it means for consumers.

We also throw the spotlight on the vast area of Gippsland to explore the cost of rising fuel prices on the shire, plus we discuss the welfare of seafarers in times of global conflict.
