One of our two oil refineries caught fire this week, because of course, we didn't have enough issues with fuel supply. We'll take you through that, plus the latest in the Iran war - Israel and Lebanon have a ceasefire deal and the feud between Trump and the Pope. We'll also talk about Meghan and Harry's royal (but not royal) Australia tour. And we'll cap things off with a nice, palette-cleansing recommendation.

This week, we're starting with the imminent return to Earth for the Artemis 2 crew. Then we're helping you make sense of the US-Iran negotiations — how Israel and Lebanon factor in, and where Australia sits in all of it. We'll look at the economic ripple effects, including what's happening with oil and how we're securing enough of it. And we’ll cover the arrest of former SAS soldier Ben Roberts-Smith, who has been charged with five counts of war crime murder.

This is a special episode of Squiz Kids that we wanted to share with you.

Throughout the month of March - The Squiz Kids team has been asking primary school aged listeners if you were Prime Minister for a day, what one thing would you do to make the country a better place to live. 

Almost 500 kids from right across this magnificent nation of ours sent in a video entry - and the ideas were as incredible as the kids themselves.

From the bush to the city - from WA to Tassie, Queensland to Victoria - and every where in between - Squiz Kids answered the call - imagining themselves running the country – all part of our commitment to civics engagement.

In this episode, we head to Parliament House to follow our PM for a Day winner, Jett Jarvis, as he lives a day most adults will never experience.

After almost 500 incredible entries from kids right across Australia, Jett’s idea stood out: tackling food waste by helping Australians understand that wonky fruit and veg still taste just as good.

You’ll hear Jett sit down with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to ask what it’s really like to lead the country every day, whether the job ever gets tiring, and why it matters for Australians to understand that imperfect fruit and veg are just as good as the perfect-looking ones.

It’s a conversation about big responsibilities, small actions that ripple outward, and why young voices matter more than ever.

A huge thank you to everyone who entered PM for a Day. Your ideas, creativity, and enthusiasm prove one thing loud and clear: The future is in very good hands!

What’s happening with the fuel crisis is our focus for today. Lots of ideas being suggested about how our government is going to respond - working from home, fuel rationing. We’re all wondering when and how this war is going to end, so we’ll unpack where the US-Iran ceasefire talks are at (if they’re happening at all). And a huge event in Parliament House… what would you do if you were PM for a day?

For the past few weeks we’ve been helping you out with a global view on the war between the US, Israel and Iran. We’ll get into what’s taken place there in the past week, but we’re also zooming in to the impacts on Australia, as those effects are being increasingly felt here at home. Then, we’ll update you on what’s happened with the Iranian football team, we’ll run through the election happening today in South Australia, and cyclone Narelle is hitting the shores of north Queensland as we record.
