The first of the big tech companies is up this week.

It's Tesla on Thursday morning, Australia time.

We'll hear another stream of consciousness from Elon Musk, which is always good listening.

On Wednesday, really interesting speech from Mark Butler, who's the Minister for Health and Aging

and the Minister for Disability and the NDIS.

Anthony, the Strait of Hormuz has sort of blocked out everything like a shadow over the sun, but the budget still looms, still coming up in a couple of weeks.

And how is the government going to be juggling fuel prices, the oil shock, and this question around NDIS funding, which doesn't seem to go away?

Yep, yep.

And the big thing to watch, of course, next week, Anthony, is on Sunday night, Monday morning, our time when Donald Trump will inevitably do something strange to do with the war in Iran, because that's what he does every single week, isn't it?

Yeah, it feels like it.

Yeah, yeah.

Watch out for that one.
