Albanese addresses the nation, and rescuing Molly the border collie

This episode of Squiz Today covers a range of major global and local stories, beginning with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's rare national address, in which he urged Australians to remain calm amid rising fuel prices and economic uncertainty. He emphasized cooperation across political lines to stabilize fuel supply and called for public responsibility in fuel consumption. The episode also highlights US President Donald Trump's upcoming national address, where he is expected to outline a timeline for ending the war abroad and potentially withdraw from NATO, sparking international concern. A controversial executive order to create a federal voter list has also raised alarms over potential suppression of postal voting and voter access. In technology news, Australia's federal government struck a $550 billion non-binding deal with AI company Anthropic to promote responsible AI development, contingent on renewable energy commitments for data centers. Meanwhile, NASA prepares for the historic Artemis II mission, its first crewed lunar flyby in over half a century, set for launch within hours. The episode concludes on a heartwarming note with the rescue of Molly, a border collie lost in New Zealand’s wilderness, found after a community-funded helicopter search and joyfully reunited with her owner. The hosts also announce a short break over the Easter long weekend and recommend a feel-good Squiz Kids episode and a fish pie recipe for Good Friday.
