'We Lied To Our Own People' - The Crisis We're Facing Now (Karl Stefanovic)

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.



Good hour long interview with Karl Stefanovic, who is giving an MSM platform to both Antic and Rennick - guys who can make a real difference to the country. They are standing against things like NET ZERO, mass migration, and standing for more economic self sufficiency, retention of national assets (no outsourcing or privatisation), and for general transparency and justice. They are also switched onto the blackmailing and influence peddling that has targeted politicians and bureaucrats, plus the system that promotes people that should not be in charge of the country.
