3AW Mornings with Tom Elliott

From the Summary Podcast -  American voters have delivered a sweeping "Blue Wave" in the US Midterm elections, flipping control of both houses of Congress in a resounding rebuke of Donald Trump's administration. With the White House facing gridlock for the remainder of the presidential term, the political shockwaves are set to reach well beyond Washington.

On this episode of The Summary, host Josh Bryant investigates how the balance of power has shifted and what a divided America means for key allies like Australia. White House reporter Naomi Lim from the Washington Examiner explains the voter dissatisfaction that fueled the Democratic victory, the immediate hurdles facing the Trump agenda, and whether this marks the beginning of the end for the MAGA movement's dominance over the Republican party. Then, Associate Professor David Smith from the United States Studies Centre examines whether an increasingly unpredictable president complicates diplomatic ties, shifts public trust in the alliance, and alters how Canberra manages the relationship moving forward.

From the Summary Podcast - Every spring, bursts of purple take over Australian suburban streets and social media feeds as jacarandas burst into bloom, marking the approach of summer and university exam season.

Professor Susan Martin from La Trobe University shares the history behind how jacarandas arrived on our shores, the folklore surrounding their springtime bloom, and how they became an enduring feature of suburbs nationwide. Then, Jeff Smith, President of the Grafton Jacaranda Festival, joins to explain how his northern New South Wales town crowned itself the jacaranda capital of Australia, drawing tourists from around the world and managing crowds flocking to get the perfect photo.

From the Summary Podcast - Four weeks after the ban on card surcharges came into effect, customers and business owners are still dealing with confusion, rising costs, and unexpected price hikes.

On this episode of The Summary, host Josh Bryant looks into whether the surcharge ban delivered on its promise or simply triggered a new round of inflation. Clinton Maynard, host of Money News, breaks down the actual transaction costs for merchants and where the tax office fits into the puzzle.
