    Australian government emergency response teams have deployed to the Middle East to provide consular assistance to Australians in Iran, Israel, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Australians are being urged to register online for travel updates and reconsider travel plans to Europe for the next five months due to flight hub closures and disrupted flight paths. The former head of Qantas's safety department warns these disruptions could continue for months.

  • Middle East tensions drive up freight and fuel costs

    Middle East tensions drive up freight and fuel costs
    Mar 3 2026
    Escalating tensions in the Middle East are disrupting critical shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea, forcing vessels to divert around Africa's Cape of Good Hope and adding over 14 days to transit times. Freight costs and surcharges are already rising across the supply chain, with fuel supplies facing particular risk as the Strait of Hormuz handles approximately 20% of fuel transit. The disruptions are expected to impact everyday costs including groceries, mining, fishing and transport, with Australia's fuel security stockpile running below international recommended levels.

  • Unions push for five weeks annual leave

    Unions push for five weeks annual leave
    Mar 3 2026
    Australian unions are launching a campaign to increase the minimum annual leave entitlement from four to five weeks for workers, marking the first major change to annual leave standards in 50 years. The push comes as Australian workers complete an average of 4.5 weeks of unpaid overtime annually, with unions arguing that Australia has fallen behind European countries where five weeks is standard. ACTU Secretary Sally McManus argues the change represents a 2% pay increase and would benefit both workers and businesses dependent on holiday spending.

  • Middle East conflict threatens Australian fuel prices

    Middle East conflict threatens Australian fuel prices
    Mar 3 2026
    The Reserve Bank of Australia warns that the Middle East conflict could trigger higher interest rates and oil price spikes in Australia. Petrol prices are expected to rise, with each $1 increase in world oil prices adding about one cent per litre at the bowser, while airfares and transport costs may also increase due to higher fuel costs. The strong Australian dollar, currently above 70 cents, may provide some buffer against these price increases, though economists warn inflation could still push above 4 per cent.

    U.S. consulate in Dubai struck by drone attack
    Mar 3 2026
    The U.S. consulate in Dubai was struck by a drone in an incident that sparked a fire, though no casualties were reported and the fire was quickly extinguished. Most consulate staff had been working from home at the time of the attack. Intelligence analysts suggest Iran has distributed drones and assets across the region to various groups, and the incident occurs amid broader tensions involving U.S. and Israeli operations targeting Iranian infrastructure.
