    INTERVIEW: Will things ever return to 'normal' in the Strait of Hormuz?
    Apr 23 2026
    Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains at a virtual standstill with President Trump ordering US forces to 'shoot and kill' Iranian vessels laying mines in the Strait. The US military says it seized another tanker associated with smuggling Iranian oil in the Indian Ocean. The U.S. and Iran had declared the Strait open on Friday April 17 but Iran reimposed control on Saturday. Tehran said it was responding to a continued U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, calling it a violation of their ceasefire. So will we ever see a return to normal shipping and trade, once the strait reopens? In this episode of Weekend One on One, we hear from Alexis Ellender, senior lead analyst at maritime data firm Kpler

    INTERVIEW: Why have the ceasefire talks stalled?
    Apr 22 2026
    Ceasefire talks between the US and Iran seem to be on hold. Pakistan had planned to host a second round of talks, but the White House suspended Vice President JD Vance’s planned trip to Islamabad - as Iran rebuffed efforts to restart negotiations. Pakistani officials say authorities will keep security arrangements in place in Islamabad in case US and Iranian delegations ultimately arrive. Speaking to the Associated Press, Qamar Cheema, the Executive Director of the Sanober Institute in Islamabad, says talks between the U.S. and Iran have stalled due to a lack of clarity and a complex power struggle within Tehran

    INTERVIEW: Singapore Energy Minister Dr Tan See Leng
    Apr 14 2026
    After Prime Minister Albanese’s whistle-stop visit to Singapore, the future of Australia’s fuel supplies looks a lot more secure as the ripples from the Straits of Hormuz spread outwards. Last week Anthony Albanese met with his Singaporean counterpart Lawrence Wong in Singapore. The two signed off on a new bilateral trade agreement, under which Australia would guarantee Singapore’s supply of liquefied natural gas, and Singapore would prioritise the flow of refined petroleum to Australia. Singapore is Australia’s largest source of refined petrol. SBS's Naveen Razik secured an exclusive interview with Singapore's Energy Minister Dr. Tan See Leng about our energy partnership and the wider consequences of the current crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

  • INTERVIEW: The Cocos Islands will soon become uninhabitable; but what happens to the residents?

    INTERVIEW: The Cocos Islands will soon become uninhabitable; but what happens to the residents?
    Apr 10 2026
    A remote Australian outpost more than 3,000 kilometres from Perth, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands are facing an uncertain future. Climate modelling predicts the low-lying atoll, home to around 600 residents, could become uninhabitable within 50 years. About 460 of those residents are Cocos Malays, whose ancestors were brought to the islands generations ago as indentured labourers by the Clunies-Ross family, paid in company-issued tokens. Despite that history, the community has preserved a distinct culture and way of life that endures today. Following a United Nations-supervised vote in the 1980s, the Cocos Malays chose to integrate with Australia. Since that time, it is the isolation that has helped preserve the islands unique cultural identity. In this extended edition of Weekend One on One, Federal Minister for Local Government and Territories Kristy McBain speaks with SBS’s Christopher Tan, following the release of the Government’s Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan — the final report assessing the threats facing the Cocos Islands.

    A national report has found discrimination against transgender people is still widespread across institutions, including in healthcare, housing, education and employment. The report by the Australian Human Rights Commission makes 19 recommendations, including reforms across Australian states and territories to protect gender diverse people from vilification, incitement of hatred and threats of physical harm. The author of the report, Sex Discrimination Commissioner Anna Cody, spoke to Razanne Al-Abdeli about the findings, including identifying the barriers gender-diverse people experience in different institutional settings.

    INTERVIEW: Professor Paul Griffin tells SBS 'more important than ever' to get flu vaccine this year
    Apr 4 2026
    'Get vaccinated now' was an instruction we heard repeatedly during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and since then Australia's vaccination rates have been declining. So much so that last year Australia recorded its worst flu season on record with 1,738 deaths. Director of Infectious Diseases at the Mater, Professor Paul Griffin, says everyone should get a flu vaccination. He's been telling SBS that this year's flu vaccine includes protection against a highly contagious mutation of influenza A which is known as subclade K or Super-K.
